Pianist Sarah Hagen presents a new four-concert series in the Comox Valley.
Sarah Hagen: Live at Studio Live makes the most of the gorgeous grand piano at Studio Live, an intimate concert space in Cumberland.
The first performance on Oct. 12 celebrates some of Hagen’s favourite composers born in October with Happy Birthday Scarlatti and Saint-Saëns and Liszt and Bizet!
The series continues on November 9 with Bagatelle or Bust, exploring the bagatelles of Couperin, Beethoven and Bartok. For the third concert on Feb. 8, following an extensive introduction into these marvelously colourful works, Hagen will perform the complete first book of Debussy’s Preludes.
The season will wrap up on March 15 with Wonder Women! – The Sequel. Spurred on by an enthusiastic response to the first edition of Wonder Women!, Hagen delves into the compositions and stories of Clara Schumann, Marianne von Martinez, Cécile Chaminade, and others.
The 75-minute concerts are offered twice on each date with performances in the morning and the evening. Start times are 10:30 a.m. and 7:30 p.m., with the exception of the morning concert on Nov. 9th which will begin at 11 a.m.
Season passes are $80 and individual tickets are $23. Passes and tickets can be purchased online at sarahhagen.tickit.ca and at the door, if available. As seating is limited and Hagen’s past performances at Studio Live have sold-out, advance purchase is strongly recommended. Studio Live is located at 2679 Beaufort Ave in Cumberland.
