Frager to perform
concerto with BSO
By LAURIE HAYNES
of the U.P. staff
The Beaumont Symphony Orchestra
(BSO), under the direction of Lamar
Professor of Music Dr. Joseph Carlucci, will
feature renowned American pianist Malcolm
Frager in the last BSO concert of the season.
The concert is March 30 at 8 p.m. in
Beaumont City Auditorium.
Frager will perform the Piano Concerto No.
4 in G major by Beethoven.
Frager, born in 1935, gave his first recital in
St. Louis, Mo., at the age of six and four years
later played a Mozart concerto with the St.
Louis Symphony under Vladimir Golsch-
mann.
At 14, he moved to New York to continue his
studies with Carl Friedberg, a pupil of Clara
Schumann and Brahms.
Frager began to win prizes as early as 1952.
The first was the Prix d’Excellence at the
American Conservatory at Fontainebleau.
Following those awards, he received top
honors at the Geneva International Piano
Competition in 1955, the Michaels Memorial
Music Award in Chicago in 1956, and the
Career Award of the National Society of Arts
and Letters in Los Angeles in 1958.
Frager’s participation in competitions,
however, is now from the other side of the
footlights, for he served as a member of the
jury for both the Queen Elisabeth of Belgium
and the Leventritt Competitions.
Recently he has become interested in per-
forming piano music on authentic early in-
struments and has made a recording of
Haydn, Schubert and Beethoven on two early
pianos from a famous English collection.
Other recordings include the Schumann
Concerto with conductor Jascha Horenstein,
a disc of music for two pianos with Vladimir
Ashkenazy and the Brahms’ Trio.
Frager has performed in concerts all over
the United States, Europe and Australia and
now comes to Beaumont for a second time,
having appeared for the Beaumont Music
Commission two years ago.
The BSO will open the Beaumont program
with “Lt. Kije Suite” by 20th century Russian
composer Serge Prokofieff. The music is a
concert arrangement of the score Prokofieff
wrote in 1933 for the Soviet film Lt. Kiie.”
The second orchestral selection is the
“Russian Easter Overture” by Rimsky-
Korsakoff, another Russian composer. This
piece is based on Russian liturgical themes
and is played in recognition of the Easter
season.
Two hundred free tickets to the symphony
will be available to Lamar students beginning
Monday, March 27, at 8 a.m. at the Setzer
Student Center Reservations Desk.
