HAYDN: Overture from L'isola Disabitata
BEETHOVEN: Symphony No. 8 in F Major, Op 93
ELGAR: Concerto for Cello, Op 85
STEVEN DOANE, Cello
Our 38th Season opens with two incredibly passionate composers as we present Beethoven's Symphony No. 8 and Elgar's Cello Concerto, performed by Steven Doane. (see full bio below) Often considered a misunderstood work, this symphony was one that Beethoven considered to be better than his previous symphonies, despite their incredibly widespread acclaim. And Elgar's concerto is remarkable for a number of reasons, starting with its very first notes, played only by the solo cello, that immediately draw in listeners.
STEVEN DOANE BIO:
Internationally known soloist, recitalist, chamber musician, recording artist, and pedagogue Steven Doane appears at festivals and on concert series throughout the United States and overseas. Doane received his BM from Oberlin Conservatory and his MM from SUNY Stony Brook. He received a Watson Foundation Grant for overseas study in 1975, and had further studies with Richard Kapuscinski, Bernard Greenhouse, Jane Cowan, and Janos Starker.
Steven Doane and Eastman pianist Barry Snyder have made a series of recordings for the Bridge label. The duo's recording of the complete music of Gabriel Fauré for cello and piano was awarded the Diapason D'or in France, and has been broadcast throughout the United States and Canada, over the BBC in England, and throughout Europe. The second recording in the series, of works by Britten and Frank Bridge, was also released to critical acclaim. New releases on Bridge include the Rachmaninoff Sonata with Barry Snyder (May 2012) and Britten Solo Suites (due for release in 2013).
Steven Doane received Eastman's Eisenhart Award for Excellence in Teaching in 1993, and the Piatigorsky Prize in teaching at the New England Conservatory in 1986. As a member of the New Arts Trio, Doane was awarded the Naumburg Chamber Music Award in 1980. He made his Carnegie Hall and Kennedy Center debuts in Don Quixote with David Zinman and the Rochester Philharmonic in 1983. His Tully Hall recital debut occurred in 1990, and has been followed by numerous recital appearances, including programs in London's Wigmore Hall, Boston's Saunders Theater, and many other venues. Steven Doane currently holds the title of "visiting professor" at the Royal Academy of Music, London, where he has done several residencies.
