Updated preview since lifting of Covid restrictions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Live Concert, Brighton 13 August, 7.30<\/p>\n

Classic cat and mouse? The smiling Brighton audience at Music & Wine at St Luke\u2019s will wonder if two famous cartoon characters have been reincarnated and broken loose around the building. \u2018The Tom and Jerry Show\u2019 is the truly novel attraction there in Maya Irgalina\u2019s enterprising live concert there on Friday 13 August (7.30pm).<\/p>\n

The show-stopping music piece was written in 2003 by popular young female living jazzy Japanese performer and composer Hiromi Uehara \u2013 and it takes a special personality not just to perform but actually to include in a conventional solo piano concert. It reveals to an audience if the virtuoso pianist before them dares perform with their tongue in cheek.<\/p>\n

Beethoven definitely had his cheek filled during his Caprice, \u2018Rage Over A Lost Penny\u2019, and that\u2019s coming up, too. This is a theraputic programme with an upbeat summer fair or holiday feel, sympathetic to the times.<\/p>\n

With Spain among the difficult places to holiday this summer, a definite tapas flavour wafts in from Maya Irgalina. There are atmospheric Andalusian nostalgia and flamenco vibes in Albeniz\u2019 \u2018Jerez\u2019 and \u2018Triana\u2019 from his quartet of \u2018Iberia\u2019 masterpiece books \u2013 Jerez the city of sherry, brandy, horses and carriages, and Triana the artsy former gypsy quarter of Seville. And another Spanish connection comes in three Scarlatti Sonatas, composed by an Italian while resident in Madrid.<\/p>\n

If it\u2019s a hot evening, Debussy\u2019s \u2018Reverie\u2019 will fit extra-perfectly. And on the way towards that \u2018Tom and Jerry\u2019 tours de force, Ravel\u2019s Sonatine will turn on cool Parisian suavity to preface two pieces by jazz-blooded Russian composer Nikolai Kasputin \u2013 \u2018Paraphrase on Aquarela do Brazil by Ary Barros\u2019 (spot the tune) and \u2018Jazz Variations\u2019.<\/p>\n

Following the lifting of Covid-19 restrictions, this concert will now have an interval, including wine being served, and admission tickets resuming on sale at the door. See the website for details and check the page showing updated social distancing guidelines.<\/p>\n

Maya\u2019s \u2018Irgalina\u2019 is not Mediterranean Latino but sounds as \u201cEar-gar-leaner\u201d. She is from Balarus, and spreads a solo piano career with collaborations performing with outstanding new young classical singers. Among her lockdown engagement casualties were appearances with soprano Kate Royal and the celebrated British cellist Natalie Clein.<\/p>\n

Maya is an associated artiste of the Worthing-based International Interview Concerts.<\/p>\n
