Eastport Arts Center presents Danny Holt: Music & Conversation

Danny Holt will share excerpts from an upcoming solo program and tell the stories of composers from the 19th century to today, and how they inspire one another. Holt's program traces the theme of "Musical Quotations, Tributes, & Transformations" as composers reinterpret the works of their peers and predecessors. We will discuss the fun and fascinating musical cross-pollinations that gave birth to this program, which continues Holt's favorite theme of shining a spotlight on lesser-known music from the classical tradition. More an informal show-and-tell / Q&A than a traditional concert, Holt's presentation encourages audience members to ask questions and contribute to the conversation.

Ellsworth Community Music Institute presents Danny Holt

  • Ellsworth Community Music Institute (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Danny’s latest solo program traces the history of the sonatina from the 18th through the 21st centuries, highlighting an eclectic array of composers–many of whom are unknown to even the most ardent classical music fans. Shining a spotlight on lesser-known composers is one of Holt’s passions, and this program does exactly that, using the genre of the sonatina as a jumping off point. Most students of classical piano will have memories of studying sonatinas by Clementi and Kuhlau: these works have found an important place in piano pedagogy more than 200 years since they were composed. But one seldom hears these works on the concert stage. Holt’s program begins in the Classical era, with short selections by Clementi and Diabelli. Moving into the Romantic style, sonatinas by Heller, Kirchner, and Reger show how composers in the 19th century expanded the conception of what a sonatina could be. Works by Bartók, Karg-Elert, and Saygun give a glimpse of the dramatic contrasts of classical music in the 20th century. And Kapustin’s jazzy one-movement sonatina ushers in the 21st century, showing that the sonatina is still alive and well!
