Programming - February 2015

=====================================================================

Monthly Theme

Our monthly arc for February is “Double Double”, where I will program music for two performers, or “twofers”. On my monthly contributionon Hubub, I will also link to past posts from our many series that fit the mold.

• February 6 – “Piano, Piano” – works for two pianists in two piano or piano four hands format. Works by Bartok, Fauré, Arensky and Schuibert. http://itywltmt.blogspot.com/2015/02/piano-piano.html
