The Bard College Conservatory of Music is pleased to present a celebration of the new album release by renowned pianist and conductor Benjamin Hochman, a lecturer at Bard College Berlin. The event, which takes place on November 8, 2024 at 7 pm in the Bitó Conservatory Building on Bard’s campus, will begin with a reception followed by a piano concert of Hochman’s album Resonance. The event is free and open to the public. For more information, please visit here.
Resonance will be released by Avie Records on November 1, 2024. It features Beethoven Piano Sonatas Op. 109 and 110, George Benjamin’s Shadowlines, and works by Josquin de Prez and John Dowland. “This program is a journey from darkness to light, a study in contrasts that nevertheless finds resonance across the centuries, ultimately finding transcendence and even triumph,” Hochman writes.
Born in Jerusalem in 1980, Hochman’s chamber music collaborations have taken him to Berlin, Budapest, Vancouver, Boston, Seattle, Dallas, Charlottesville, the Clark Art Institute in Massachusetts, and Brown University. He currently curates the Kurtág Festival, a three-day event inspired by the musical explorations of György Kurtág, at Bard College in Annandale.
