Spring Showcase feat. Mads Tolling

Opener:
- Amy Ahn (Harp)

First half:
- Beethoven's Piano Trio in Bb major ("Archduke"), Op. 97 (Jon Lee, Alex Kim, Yip-Wai Chow)

Second half:
- Violinist, Mads Tolling and pianist, Colin Hogan will perform their new music program: The Danish-American Songbook.

Mads grew up in Copenhagen, Denmark. Having lived in the US for over twenty years now, he still enjoys integrating the beautiful melodies from his home country.

Those include the once most performed song in the World, “Tango Jalousie” by Jacob Gade and famed singer songwriter, Kim Larsen’s “Om Lidt.” Denmark is known for its folk music tradition, and Mads will perform a medley of old Danish folk tunes, one of which the lyrics were created by Hans Christian Andersen. Found in every Mads and Colin show is the love for the tradition of American jazz.

Amy Ahn's full program:

• “Bird’s Eye View” Caroline Lizotte
• “Suite Galactique, Op. 39”
• Asieh-Che-Chih “Amid Flowers Beside the River Under a Spring Moon”
• Amy Ahn “Dandelion Yellow”
• “Arirang” Korean Folk Song arr. by Lavinia Meijer
• Gabriel Fauré “Impromptu”

We will be taking the listener on an auditory journey of sounds from Denmark's traditional and popular music. This while finding the connection with the US, with all the influences from jazz and R&B.
