Caterina Lichtenberg & Mike Marshall: Beethoven and the Mandolin
In our second of three distinctly different celebrations for the 250th anniversary of Ludwig van Beethoven’s birth, mandolinists Mike Marshall and Caterina Lichtenberg will play a program from their rich duet repertoire. Beethoven wrote four pieces for mandolin and Lichtenberg performs two of these accompanied by Adam Jaffe on fortepiano. These works were written for the Contessa Josefine in Prague in 1796. A scholar on the subject, Lichtenberg will share her deep connection to these works.
