Pianist and composer Michael Brown offers a program of music inspired by nature, folklore, and mythology. Haydn’s Capriccio, based on the Austrian folk song “The Farmer’s Wife Has Lost Her Cat,” precedes musical homages to Haydn by Debussy, Ravel, and Brown. The program also features Ravel’s Miroirs, a towering masterpiece of the keyboard literature, and concludes with Nikolai Medtner’s Second Improvisation, an imaginative depiction of the realm of gnomes, goblins, and elves.
