Contemporary Pieces for Cello and Piano performed by Annie Jacobs-Perkins and Katelyn Vahala
Contemporary Music Festival @ Goethe
Pianist Katelyn Vahala and cellist Annie Jacobs-Perkins perform a recital of brand new and contemporary “standard” repertoire for cello and piano by Stratis Minakakis, Daniel Temkin, Octavio Vazquez, Michael Essl, Helmut Lachenmann, and B.A. Zimmermann. Four of the compositions were written for the performers, and this concert at the Goethe-Institut will be the world premiere of two of them (Minakakis (2022), Temkin (2024), Vazquez (2024, premiere), and Essl (2025, premiere)).
