The Golandsky Institute is thrilled to announce two outstanding concerts as part of the 2026 Summer Symposium!
On Monday, July 27 at 7:30 PM, "Wondering Worlds" features soprano Anna Cavaliero and pianist Sebastian Issler in a richly expressive program spanning English, French, German, and Hungarian repertoire. The evening includes works by Howells, Gurney, Britten, Schubert, Duparc, Hahn, Poulenc, Korngold, Mendelssohn, and Bartók, with highlights such as Britten’s Nocturne and Seascape, Schubert’s Rastlose Liebe, Duparc’s L’invitation au voyage, Poulenc’s Les Chemins de l’amour, and Bartók’s Hungarian Folksongs.
On Wednesday, July 29 at 7:30 PM, "Gershwin for Two" showcases pianists Logan Skelton, Sean Duggan, and Mi-Eun Kim in a vibrant celebration of George Gershwin’s music in imaginative arrangements for two pianos. The program features University of Michigan professor, Logan Skelton’s virtuosic arrangements of Gershwin songs (including I Got Rhythm, Someone to Watch Over Me, and Strike Up the Band), Percy Grainger’s Fantasy on "Porgy and Bess", and concludes with an exciting performance of Skelton's ambitious arrangement of An American in Paris, alongside additional Gershwin favorites.
Both concerts are included for Symposium participants and warmly open to the public.
