The Albany Symphony is delighted to welcome sisters Madalyn and Cicely Parnas as soloists on this February concert series. duo parnas, well-known both as an extraordinary chamber duo and individually as two top young artists and virtuosos of their generation, have been featured in numerous national radio programs and magazines. They have released two highly acclaimed CDs, and taken 1st prize in international chamber music competition and top prizes in national soloist competitions. Recently hailed in the New York Times for their “electrifying” performance, “lush tone” and “pinpoint precision”, the duo also performs with pianist Peter Serkin in the Parnas/Serkin Trio. duo parnas will perform two concerti, Saint-Saëns’ rarely heard treasure “La Muse et le Poète” and the beloved Double Concerto in Bb Major by Vivaldi. You will also hear Beethoven’s witty and whimsical Symphony No. 8 and Schoenberg’s early, extremely romantic masterpiece “Verklärte Nacht”. Enjoy!
