Easy Riders
On this edition of Soundcheck we explore two concerts that reveal the ties between music and the visual arts. Sarah Rothenberg, the pianist who is appearing at the Jewish Museum this week to lead a program titled “Schoenberg, Kandinsky, and the Blue Rider,” based on the historic concert in Munich of January 2, 1911 in which the visionary painter Wassily Kandinsky encountered the music of Arnold Schoenberg for the first time. Rothenberg joins us to discuss the fascinating coincidences between the painter and composer. We’re also joined by cellist Maya Beiser, who in an upcoming Zankel Hall program approaches the concert stage like an art installation, juxtaposing text and video sequences created by video artist Irit Batsry. The concert also features several works written for Beiser, including one by Steve Reich, who joins Beiser today on the program.
