This is a groupmuse

A live concert in a living room, backyard, or another intimate space. They're casual and friendly, hosted by community members.

Host

I'm excited to host my very first Groupmuse event, featuring special performances by my son and niece. Both are classically trained pianists, and my niece will also share her talent on the violin. My son has just completed his first year at Howard University, and my niece is a proud graduate of UC Berkeley. I'm thrilled to share their beautiful music with you and our community. Please join us for an inspiring evening and help support these young musicians as they share their passion and artistry.

What's the music?

Quentin Derac and Ilene Mendoza will open the event with a duet piece. Following, Ilene Mendoza, on piano, will be playing for 30 minutes. After an intermission, Quentin Derac will play his program “Across the Classical Eras” for 45 minutes.

Where does this music come from?

Classical Music has been around for hundreds of years, and is the first of many creative milestones we as humans have achieved. The raw emotion that can be felt from a piece of music by Chopin, the creativity and voice leading by Beethoven, to the technical articulation we can see in composers like Ravel. Classical music—IS history. It displays to us what period the world was in at the time. It tells us stories through its melodies and rhythm. Without classical music, the music of today’s world could never exist.
