Host

I am thrilled to welcome Duo Remanence in an intimate recital featuring the harp and cello. Duo Remanence, Mana & Eric Tinkerhess, won the 2023 Beverley Hills National Auditions competition. Mana Tinkerhess is a harpist and keyboardist specializing in modern pedal harp and baroque triple harp, as well as piano and harpsichord. Eric Tinkerhess is a cellist, violist da gamba and musicologist. His recordings with Ensemble Diderot have received critical acclaim. Eric is currently a PhD candidate in musicology at USC, and has served on the music history faculties of Colburn and Pepperdine.

Duo Remanence will perform selected works from Vivaldi, Pergolesi, Brahms, Liszt, Tchaikovsky, Saint-Saëns and more!

This is an intimate living room concert. Arrive between 6:00 and 6:30 for a wine and appetizer reception. Music starts at 6:45 and lasts approximately 60 minutes. Please, no late arrivals. After the performance stick around for appetizers and drinks and mingle with Mana and Eric. Be sure to check out Mana's 7-pedal harp!

Where does this music come from?

Duo Remanence presents a program of galant and Romantic music for cello and harp, spanning three centuries of music written by composers from across Europe. The journey begins in Italy with sonatas by Antonio Vivaldi and Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, with the late-Renaissance “Spagnoletta” in between. Nocturns by Friedrich Burgmüller and an étude by the harpist François-Joseph Dizi evoke the tender melancholy of early Romanticism, followed by Johannes Brahms’s folksy, rollicking Hungarian Dance no. 5. “Liebestraum” (“Dream of Love”) by Franz Liszt is a sublime tribute to the power of love, succeeded by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s wistful “Sentimental Waltz.” “Lochaber” is the name of a region in the Scottish Highlands, and it’s also a traditional Scottish tune arranged by the Italian Francesco Barsanti (1690–1775) who traveled throughout the United Kingdom collecting folk songs. The program finishes with “The Swan” by Camille Saint-Saëns. In mythology swans are believed to sing just before their death, but here this swan song is merely a final piece before the end of the concert, nevertheless full of bittersweet emotion as we end our musical journey for the time being.
