Kristian Bezuidenhout

In 2016 fortepiano phenomenon Kristian Bezuidenhout brought this unique instrument to life in a rare treat for Coolidge audiences. Known for his thoughtful and energetic performances of concerti, Lieder, chamber music and solo repertoire, Bezuidenhout trains his eye on some of the riches of the mid-1790s for his appearance at the Library.

Doric Quartet

In 2018, The Doric Quartet performed Beethoven’s op. 130 with its original finale, the still avant-garde Grosse Fuge at the Concerts from the Library of Congress. Charismatic, commanding performances and eloquent recordings of the complete Schumann and Korngold quartets explain Gramophone’s description of the group: “musicians with fascinating things to say.”

Europa Galante Concert

Revived the 2018 performance of Europa Galante.  Founded by the brilliant violinist and conductor Fabio Biondi, Italy’s Europa Galante is one of the world’s most admired period performance ensembles, particularly known for masterly performances of the music of Antonio Vivaldi. The concert highlighted two of his dazzlingly imaginative Concerti dell’ Addio, the Farewell Concertos written in the final year of his life, and works by Venetian and Viennese contemporaries who may have influenced him.

The weekend is here and Concerts from the Library of Congress brings you...Pick of the Weekend, free video performances to keep you company. 


This weekend's pick is dedicated to our colleague Larry Applebaum who is retiring from the Music Division after four decades of creative and innovative work. 
For this Pick of the Weekend we are sharing with you some of his great interviews with jazz masters and the artists' performances at the Library.  For more of Larry's story at the Library of Congress, here is a link to his most recent blog post


Abdullah Ibrahim & Larry Appelbaum in Conversation

Abdullah Ibrahim talks with Larry Appelbaum about jazz as part of the Library of Congress Jazz Scholars program.

Abdullah Ibrahim Concert

Jazz pianist and composer Abdullah Ibrahim celebrated his Library of Congress residency with a captivating concert that left the audience in awe of his authenticity as a performer. A onetime protégé of Duke Ellington, Ibrahim has become a cultural icon in his native South Africa, through his commitment to expanding music education opportunities and developing the nation’s unique jazz scene.

 


Maria Schneider & Larry Applebaum in Conversation

Jazz artist Maria Schneider discusses her approach to the creative process and her collaboration with David Bowie in an interview with Larry Appelbaum. Recorded in conjunction with the world premiere of Schneider's Library of Congress commission "Data Lords," presented in association with the Reva and David Logan Foundation.

Maria Schneider Concert

Maria Schneider’s music has been hailed by critics as “evocative, majestic, magical, heart-stoppingly gorgeous, and beyond categorization.” The multiple GRAMMY® award-winning composer and bandleader spent a packed week at the Library on the spring of 2016 for a special residency project. On the agenda were explorations of the Library’s treasure trove of scores and memorabilia, plus workshops for students and conversations with curators. Schneider conducted her terrific orchestra—a crack 17-member collective made up of many of the finest jazz musicians performing —and unveiled her new Library of Congress commission, created through the support of the Reva and David Logan Foundation, in memory of David Logan.


A Conversation With Dafnis Prieto and Larry Appelbaum

Host of WPFW's "Sound of Surprise" Larry Appelbaum of the Library of Congress' Music Division, interviews Dafnis Prieto.

Dafnis Prieto SÍ O SÍ Quartet Concert

with guest artist, Christian Howes, violin
“Prieto’s music explodes with energy… original compositions with a singular passion and intensity.”

Cuban-born composer and drummer Dafnis Prieto is unquestionably one of the most important leaders of the New Latin Jazz movement.  He has wonderfully blurred the line between traditional Latin-jazz and 21-century postbop, fusing Afro-Cuban rhythms and modern jazz harmonies.
