DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Groupmuse\nMusicians: Cristian Budu\n\nThis last week
 end of October isn't just scary because it's Halloween weekend -- with a f
 ull moon to boot. We'll be getting goosebumps from the music from Cristian
  BOO-du.\n\nWe're presenting a 'mini-festival' for the weekend -- to keep 
 people engaged in community\, in transcendent works of beauty\, in our tra
 ns-historical togetherness. You've always got a melodious virtual home wit
 h Groupmuse that can serve as a refuge from it all.\n\nMoreover\, this wee
 kend will be the last of our Groupmuse Foundation launch cycle\, so all of
  the money raised at all mini-festival events will go to the Foundation so
  we can keep doing this important work. Eternally many thanks to all of th
 e brilliant artists who have donated their time to the cause.\n\nAnd oh do
  we have a potent opener:\n**Cristian Budu**. The leading Brazilian pianis
 t of his generation. 1st Prize Winner of Clara Haskil in 2012. Winner of t
 he Editor's Choice award from Gramophone Magazine. And he's prepared an ev
 ening of his dazzling virtuosity and humbling depths to kick off the mini-
 festival.\n\nWe'll start with his strikingly original interpretation of **
 Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata** - a dark and brooding warhorse that befits 
 a Halloween Weekend. The second half of the program is one of Budu's signa
 ture masterworks: **Chopin's 24 Preludes** -- a recording of which made it
  on Gramophone's list of "Top 10 Chopin Recordings.\n\nBecause this is a *
 *Premiere**\, the video performance\, recorded specially for our community
 \, will be prerecorded -- which means no tech hazards! And Cristian will j
 oin for the Zoom chat before and after the performance.\n\nCan't wait to s
 ee you there!
