[NEohioPAL] Season Opener - Wordstage presents "Eccentricities of the Velvet Gentleman"

[Tim Tavcar]

WordStage ~ a Chamber Music Theateropens its 2nd Ohio Season with Eccentricities
of the Velvet Gentleman - The Words and Musicof Erik Satie
 
 Mentor, collaborator and colleague of and with the likes of
Debussy, Ravel, Stravinsky, Jean Cocteau, Pablo Picasso, and Serge Diaghilev, Erik
Satie’s music transcended the accepted norms of Romanticism and Impressionism
of the time and influenced generations of French composers that followed.  A prolific writer and cartoonist, Satie wrote
fantastic diaries he titled Memoirs of an
Amnesiac and A Mammals Notebook and
was a regular contributor to such magazines as the Dadaist 351 and the publication that was, and continues to be, the arbiter
of contemporary style and taste, Vanity
Fair.  It is from these sources the
text of this WordStage presentation is derived.   
 
This performance
features the artistry of WordStage Artistic Director Tim Tavcar as Satie and
pianists HyunSoo Kim and Andrew Rosenblum, of the Cleveland Institute of Music
and the Cleveland Classical Revolution.
