Obiter’s piano had an overdue tuning last week, so life is very much law-piano-eat-sleep, and anything keys-related is catching our eye. Nice then to be contacted by solicitor-composer Tatiana Svetlova, whose dedication to the piano is even more sustained than Obiter’s own.
Tatiana has been organising the Mosaic Seasons festival in Monaco and the south of France, featuring established musicians and aspiring talent, including new work by living composers. She also co-curated a musical introduction show for children based on Schumann’s ‘Carnaval, Op. 9’.
She’s bringing a series of concerts to London called ‘Music of our time’, featuring ‘composers of today’, with three dates at the Bechstein Hall on Wigmore Street (19 September, 1 November and 14 March). The piano concerts’ programmes include some of Tatiana’s ‘reflections’ – variations based on composers such as Gershwin and a ‘Humoresque on God Save the King’, performed by pianists Evelyne Berezovsky (pictured), Edna Stern and Louis-Victor Bak.
Gazette readers who like to try before they buy tickets can listen to Tatiana’s album Poetic Dialogues, available on Spotify. In Obiter’s view, listening to it was 34 minutes very well spent.
