Location

Unitarian Universalist Meeting House, Court St. Castine

The Castine Arts Association is pleased to present Maeve and Alan Feinberg for another exciting fall concert in Castine. This father/daughter duo will perform works by Bach, Beethoven, Korngold, and Westhoff.

Violinist Maeve Espy Feinberg received her Bachelor of Music degree in May, graduating with honors from the New England Conservatory in Boston. Previously she spent two years studying at the Universität Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria. In Austria Maeve won the Yehudi Menuhin Live Music Now and Savarez-Corelli Competitions and as part of a violin-guitar duo performed throughout Austria and Germany. In July Maeve was a fellow at the Contemporary Performance Institute of the Composers Conference in Boston and in August and September was a member of the Festival Academy Orchestra at the Lucerne Festival in Switzerland. A summer resident of Castine, Maeve was a member of the Castine Town Band and a participant in the Maine Young Musicians Program at Kneisel from 2003-2011. Last summer she returned to Kneisel Hall as a young artist. Maeve also attended the Sarasota Festival in 2014. She attended Greenwood Music Camp for six years, winning their David Segalman Award, and for three years Maeve was a staff member of their Junior Program. Maeve plans to continue her music studies in Europe.

Maeve will be accompanied by her father, noted pianist Alan Feinberg. Alan has received four Grammy nominations for "Best Instrumentalist" and recorded a wide range of repertoire, including four solo discs for Decca that survey American music. His 2013 release of "Basically Bull" featuring music by John Bull and his contemporaries was selected as one of the best classical recordings of the year by Rhapsody. His latest CD "Fugue State" features works of Bach, Handel, Scarlatti, and others. Alan has performed with the Chicago Symphony, Cleveland Orchestra, New York Philharmonic, Montreal Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic and many others. He frequently performs in Europe and has appeared at the Proms, Wigmore Hall and numerous festivals. He recently programmed and performed American Music for the White Nights Festival in St. Petersburg and Moscow. This program will again be presented at the Clark Museum's upcoming American Music Festival in 2017.
