Calumet – A concert featuring the music of Richard Stohr, with Stefan Koch on cello and Robert Conway on piano, will be presented on Monday, May 16 at 7:30 p.m. at the Calumet Theatre, 340 Sixth Street, Calumet.
They will perform Four Fantasy Pieces, Opus 17 (1907) and Sonata for Piano and Cello, Opus 49 (1915) along with a power point presentation about the life of Richard Stohr. Richard Stöhr (1874-1967) was a prolific and highly respected Viennese composer, author and teacher. His output includes seven symphonies, two operas, choral music, lieder, numerous chamber works and solo piano music, as well as half a dozen widely used textbooks. During his 50-year career as a teacher, his students included Herbert von Karajan, Erich Leinsdorf, Rudolf Serkin, Samuel Barber, Leonard Bernstein and Marlene Dietrich. After he was forced to leave Austria by the Nazis, he continued his composing and teaching career in the United States, but his later compositions went unpublished and have been rarely performed.
The concert is sponsored by Temple Jacob with support from L’Dor v’Dor, a Consortium of six Jewish congregations in the U.P. and northern lower Michigan, with funding from the Jewish Women’s Foundation of Metropolitan Detroit.
General seating tickets are $15 and are available at the Calumet Theatre or by calling the Box Office at 337-2610 Wednesday through Friday from 12 to 5 p.m.
