A fantasy on five keyboards featuring David Kaplan, piano

classical
Online

Faculty Recital Series

Assistant Professor of Piano David Kaplan performs a program of keyboard fantasies including a new work by Christopher Cerrone (partially commissioned by the Hugo Davise Fund). This new composition is a fantasy-style piece inspired by fantasy from the past. The new work is joined with a performance of a prelude by Louis Couperin, and the Mozart C minor fantasy, K. 475. The program culminates with Beethoven’s Sonata, Op. 110, in which sonata and fantasy forms meet. Professor Kaplan will perform on replica instruments from the Herb Albert School of Music rare instrument archive including a Regier-Graf (on loan from Robert Winter), a Dowd harpsichord, a Belt replica of a 1790’s Viennese fortepiano, as well as the school’s new Yamaha CFX concert grand.

This event is made possible by the David and Irmgard Dobrow Fund. Classical music was a passion of the Dobrows, who established a generous endowment at The UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music to make programs like this possible. We are proud to celebrate this program as part of the 2020 - 21 Dobrow Series.

Watch the performance here on the day of the event.

Nexus: Ethnomusicology and Education
Alan P. Merriam once remarked on the presence of a few scattered teachers in SEM working at the cusp of ethnomusicology, and had referred to them as “sandbox ethnomusicologists.” More recently, there appears to be change of heart within the field of ethnomusicology that includes attention to (1) the musical agency of children (and as such, children as important contributors to the study of music in cultures and communities), (2) teachers as collaborators with ethnomusicologists in school and community work, and (3) research by ethnomusicologists and educators together on pedagogical approaches to the development of intercultural understanding in and through music. I offer observations of ethnomusicology’s evolving commitment, often through collaborative efforts with teachers, to understanding and activating on questions of music, education, and culture for learners of every age, experience, and circumstance.
