A Salon Concert to benefit Hudson Area Library: Violin and Piano

HUDSON — The Hudson Area Library invites you to attend a salon concert to benefit the library on Sunday, May 6 at 4 p.m. at a private residence in Hudson. Violinist Emily Daggett Smith and pianist Tanya Gabrielian will perform an intimate recital of works by Janacek, Saariaho, Pärt, Mozart, and Franck. A reception with hors d’oeuvres & wine will follow.

A member of Brooklyn-based chamber orchestra The Knights, Emily embraces their championship of classical masterpieces and advocacy for new music in her own solo recitals, imparting her “gracefulness and easy rapport” (Boston Globe) to a program of mixed repertoire. She is joined by Tanya Gabrielian, hailed by the London Times as a “pianist of powerful physical and imaginative muscle,” who has captivated audiences worldwide with her gripping performances.
