The Sage City Symphony, under the direction of Michael Finckel will present its third annual winter Chamber Concert on Sunday, February 7, at 4 p.m., in Greenwall Auditorium in the VAPA building at Bennington College. The program will open with the Gran Duo Concertante written by the Italian string bass virtuoso, composer and conductor, Giovanni Bottesini (1821-1889). Originally written for two double basses, this one movement work was soon edited for violin, bass and small orchestra by the violin virtuoso and only pupil of Paganini, Ernesto Camillo Sivori (18151894), to produce a version that was more practical to play and in which the two solo parts were more distinct. Soloists are Kaori Washiyama and Robert Zimmerman. Kaori Washiyama was trained at Kyoto University of Music and Art where she studied violin, viola and chamber music with Ryutaro Iwabuchi and Tosio Kuronuma, receiving the prestigious Tanaka Award. Further studies in Rome were at the Academia Santa Cecilia under Richard Brengola, and during summers at the Academia Chigiana in Siena with Franco Gulli. In Rome she was recipient of the Rode Award. Ms. Washiyama is founding director of the Kaori Washiyama Chamber Music Series which presents musical events (Continued on page 5)
