Other Minds is pleased to welcome back Maki Namekawa and Dennis Russell Davies for a benefit recital of solo and piano four-hands music to celebrate Davies’ 80th birthday at the McCarthy Art Studio in San Francisco’s Mission District on Friday, March 22, 2024. The address will be provided with your ticket confirmation. The 8:00pm performance will be preceded by a dessert reception at 7:00pm in honor of Davies’ milestone birthday. This benefit for Other Minds will have only 80 tickets available at a sliding scale, with a limited number available at each level, so get yours soon!
For their fifth appearance with Other Minds, the duo will perform a set of solo and four-hands pieces by Maurice Ravel, Laurie Anderson, Philip Glass, and John Cage. Rounding out the program is a piano four-hands arrangement of selections from Czech composer Bedřich Smetana’s monumental work Má vlast (My Fatherland), a set of symphonic poems composed between 1874 and 1879.
