He performed an up- closeand- personal solo recital Sunday afternoon featuring music inspired by the idea of “ night,” which also spanned two centuries. The Burnaby, B. C.- born Parker, a faculty member at the University of Toronto, is equally regarded as both a soloist and chamber musician. The Juilliard School graduate was a founding member of the award- winning Gryphon Trio and partnered with his older brother, Jon Kimura Parker, in the Parker Duo. He has performed as soloist with major orchestras across Europe and North America. The self- confessed night owl, who told the mostly older audience during his opening introduction that he practises piano and tends to email until the wee hours, is also a personable host. He contextualized each of his mini- sets of music that added to the afternoon’s overall enjoyment, while also providing a glimpse into his own private world. The program opened with two selections from Schumann’s Kinderszenen ( Scenes from Childhood): Der Dichte spricht — the poet speaks — as well as its famous, dreamy Träumerei . Parker immediately displayed his luminous tone and ability to express deeply felt emotion within relatively few measures, while also displaying his own eloquent voice. Chopin’s Nocturne in C Sharp Minor, Op. 27, No. 2 , followed by his Nocturne in D- Flat Major, Op. 27, No. 2 , unfolded as sotto voce evocations of the nocturnal world, fuelled by rippling arpeggios, gracefully rendered fioratura and a flexible rubato that could have ebbed and flowed even more. The soloist wisely included two 20thcentury works. Toronto- based composer Linda Catlin Smith’s sparsely scored A Nocturne sees silence living comfortably side- by- side the piece’s mirrored themes exploiting the full range of the keyboard. Bartok’s The Night’s Music from his Out of Doors Suite is a wonderfully imagistic solo that Parker brought to life. He also imbued Brahms’ Drei Intermezzi, Op. 117 with a sense of contemplative introspection. His seamless phrasing, effective pedalling and carefully voiced chords ensured this became a satisfying and wholly intimate performance. Debussy’s quintessentially romantic Clair de Lune ( Suite Bergamasque) shimmered as a moonbeam, while his La soirée dans Grenada ( Estampes) evoked the Spanish habanera dance with its clattering castanets. The two- hour ( including intermission) program’s only flaw lay in its fundamental design. An entire “ concept” concert dedicated to the hushed music of nightfall can begin to lull without enough requisite contrast and balance. We were provided with some during Chopin’s Scherzo Op. 39 in C- Sharp Minor ( albeit three successive pieces in ostensibly the same key, if not the same tonality, also risks homogeneity) that showcased Parker’s bravura. He also threw sparks during the program’s oldest work: Beethoven’s Sonata No. 14 in C- Sharp Minor , Op. 27, No. 2 , ( there’s that key again) a. k. a. the Moonlight Sonata . After his wistful opening movement, followed by the more sprightly Allegretto, Parker launched into the finale with all guns blazing. Finally, after being awarded a standing ovation by the appreciative crowd of 214, Parker delivered an encore of Brahms’ Intermezzo Op. 118, No. 2 in A major , sending us poetically — and gently — into our own good night. holly. harris@ shaw. ca MUSIC MATTERS HOLLY HARRIS Pianist shines light on night works during nocturnal- themed showcase Concert Review Women’s Musical Club of Winnipeg .

Attorneys in the case agreed Monday in San Francisco Superior Court to meet informally before April 10 on the matter. Attorney Jim Wagstaffe told the court that Williams’ wife, Susan Williams, would like to keep her wedding presents, the tuxedo Williams wore at their wedding, and photographs from his 60th birthday. Attorney Meredith Bushnell, who is representing the children from previous marriages, said the dispute has been excruciating for them, and they would like to resolve it as soon as possible. The children say Williams’ trust clearly granted them his clothing, jewelry and personal photos taken prior to his marriage to Susan Williams. — The Associated Press TORONTO — Arcade Fire and Deadmau5 are among the artists publicly throwing their support behind Jay Z’s new streaming service Tidal — and both received decidedly mixed reactions from fans. Many high- profile artists have changed their social- media profile images to a shade of turquoise and are posting in support of the premium streaming music service. Other artists who joined in on the stunt included Kanye West, Rihanna and Nicki Minaj. Late Sunday night, Deadmau5 tweeted: “ Tides are about to turn.” The account of Montreal’s Arcade Fire, meanwhile, sent out the message: “ Together we can make music history. Show support and make your profile photo blue. Turn the tide.” Almost all of the responses to those posts were negative. Several skeptical users said the wording of the Arcade Fire post would have been more appropriate for a charitable endeavour, not a for- profit tech enterprise. Deadmau5, the dance producer from Niagara Falls, Ont., fielded “ sell- out” accusations. For a monthly subscription price of $ 19.99 per month, Tidal promises access to high- quality sound, HD music videos and a library spanning more than 25 million tracks. Meanwhile, other streaming companies including Deezer, Rdio and Spotify offer a similar service at half the price, and also have a limited ad- supported tier that’s free to use. — The Canadian Press LOS ANGELES — You can bring your beach towels and floral headbands, but forget that selfie stick if you’re going to the Coachella or Lollapalooza music festivals. The sticks are banned this year at the events in Indio, Calif., and Chicago. Coachella dismissed them as “ narcisstics” on a list of prohibited items. Selfie sticks have become a popular but polemical photo- taking tool: Avid picture takers like perching their cellphones on the lengthening devices to snap their own shots in front of monuments and sunsets, but critics dismiss them as obnoxious and potentially dangerous to others. Museums in the U. S. and Europe, including the Palace of Versailles outside Paris and Britain’s National Gallery in London, have banned them. — The Associated Press Coachella, Lollapalooza say no to ‘ narcisstics’ Williams’ wife, children at odds over possessions Arcade Fire, Deadmau5 turn blue, fans angry red Joel Zimmerman, a. k. a.
