Musicale Features Shoko Tanaka

Fourteen members and a guest, ranging from Texas, Oregon, and Minnesota to Georgia, gathered on Zoom on October 8, 2020 for our weekly musicale. The performers were: Michael Brounoff playing the first movement of Schubert’s Sonata in A minor, D. 784; Natale Farrell playing Kapustin’s Sonatina Op. 100; Utako Tanigawa playing Scarlatti’s Sonata K. 27/L. 449; and Shoko Tanaka playing the Brahms Intermezzo in A Major, Op. 118 No. 2. All of the performances were very convincing. The highlight of the musicale was Board Member Shoko Tanaka’s presentation about her life and music.

I've just discovered Kapustin myself, so I loved hearing Natalie's performance. Utako sparkled as usual, and it was interesting hearing Shoku perform the Brahms after working on it with Dr. Resnianski in the masterclass. He was really amazing, I only wish I could apply his instructions on voice leading. It's just not in my…
