What to expect

Planning a visit to Brooklyn Bridge Park Boathouse at Pier 5

Choose this venue for a chamber-scale Bargemusic concert in the Boathouse's close indoor setting. Go to the Pier 5 uplands using the official 10 Montague Street GPS approach—not the former barge location near Pier 1—and confirm the program, entry time, seating, accessibility needs, current ticket terms, and park conditions before arrival; food and drink are not permitted inside.

Horszowski Trio Haydn Piano Trio in E Minor, Hob. XV:12 Allegro moderato Andante Rondo . Presto Jan Swafford (They That Mourn), in commemoration of 9/11 Shostakovich Piano Trio No. 2 in E minor, op. 67 Andante — Moderato Allegro con brio Largo Allegretto — Adagio with Horszowski Trio: Jesse Mills, violin; Ole Akohoshi, cello; Rieko Aizawa, piano Jan Swafford is an acclaimed American composer and music biographer educated at Harvard and the Yale School of Music. Known for his “New Romantic” style, his music is performed internationally. Swafford is highly regarded for his definitive biographies of composers, including Ives, Brahms, Mozart, and the bestseller Beethoven: Anguish and Triumph. Born in 1946, he earned a D.M.A. from Yale and has taught at institutions including Boston Conservatory and Tufts. His biographies, often named New York Times Critics’ Choices, are noted for blending meticulous research with engaging narrative. He won the PEN/Winship Award for his Charles Ives biography. An award-winning composer (NEA grant recipient), his works often explore landscape and nature. He is a recognized music journalist, contributing to Slate and the Boston Globe, and a preconcert lecturer for the Boston Symphony Orchestra.” Giving performances that are “lithe, persuasive” (The New York Times), “eloquent and enthralling” (The Boston Globe), and described as “the most compelling American group to come on the scene” (The New Yorker), the Horszowski Trio has quickly become a vital force in the international chamber music world since their formation in 2011. In 2023, the “Horszowski Trio Prize” was created by the prestigious Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition, to award piano trio winners. In 2019, the Horszowski Trio made its London debut in a sold-out concert presented by Wigmore Hall. Their success led to a 21-concert-tour in Germany in 2022, acclaimed by major critics: “This ensemble can play anything.”; “With all the intensity of the expression that the three musicians achieve, they play in a finely tuned manner, span gripping musical arcs, work out surprising details, amaze with their interpretive imagination and stylistically confident sensitivity.”; “While listening to their Dvorak Dumky Trio, you couldn’t believe that it was not a Czech but an American ensemble playing.” The Trio takes its inspiration from the musicianship, integrity, and humanity of the pre-eminent pianist Mieczysław Horszowski (1892–1993); the ensemble’s pianist, Rieko Aizawa,

Works of Schumann and Inna Faliks with Inna Faliks, piano Described by The New Yorker as “adventurous and passionate,” Ukrainian-born pianist Inna Faliks is recognized as one of the most poetic and versatile artists of her generation. Known for commanding performances of the standard repertoire, as well as innovative interdisciplinary projects, she has built a music life defined by passion, sincerity, intellectual depth and creative curiosity. Faliks has performed thousands of recitals throughout the United States, Asia, Europe and the Middle East. She has appeared at many of the world’s leading venues including Carnegie Hall, Alice Tully Hall, National Gallery of Art, Salle Cortot in Paris, Moscow’s Tchaikovsky Hall, Beijing Center for the Performing Arts and other major halls across China, Oji Hall in Japan and major festivals such as Ravinia, Verbier, Gilmore, Newport Classical. Since her acclaimed debut with the Chicago Symphony, Faliks has remained a sought-after concerto soloist with leading orchestras in the US and abroad in a variety of of works spanning from Beethoven’s complete piano concerti to Clara Schumann, Florence Price, Paul Schoenfield, and Rachmaninoff. Her interdisciplinary performances include her one-woman show, the monologue-recital “Polonaise-Fantasie, the Story of a Pianist” and her long-running poetry and music project, Music/Words, which features living poets. She is a committed chamber musician, collaborating with major artists such as Rachel Barton Pine, Gilles Apap, Wendy Warner, Hila Plitmann and many others. A defining element in her artistry is her commitment to contemporary music. Numerous composers have written works specifically for her, and she has given many world premieres. In 2024, she premiered Clarice Assad’s “Lilith” Concerto, which Assad wrote for her. In the 2025-26 season, she gave the world premiere of Gabriel Prokofiev’s Concerto for Minimoog Synthesizer and Orchestra with Orquestra Sinfonica do Porto Casa da Musica – the first and only concert pianist in the world to appear on stage as a virtuoso of the Minimoog Synthesizer in a concerto format. She is a prolific recording artist, with albums ranging from Schumann, Beethoven and Rachmaninoff to innovative projects such as Reimagine Beethoven and Ravel, 9 premieres and the most recent Manuscripts Don’t Burn , featured on NPR’s Morning Edition.

Prokofiev Sonata No. 1 in F minor for violin and piano, Op. 80 Andante assai Allegro brusco Andante Allegrissimo – Andante assai Allegro, ma non troppo Strauss Sonata in E-flat Major for violin and piano, Op. 18 Allegro, ma non troppo Improvisation: Andante cantabile Finale: Andante – Allegro Schubert Fantasy in C Major for violin and piano, Op. Posth. 159, D. 934 Andante molto Allegretto Tema e Variazioni — Andantino-Adagio Tempo I Allegro vivace Allegretto Presto with Mark Peskanov, violin, and Asiya Korepanova, piano The pianist who performed the complete Rachmaninoff solo piano works within the composer’s 150th-anniversary year in 2023 , Asiya Korepanova is a pianistic powerhouse hailed as a “tremendously gifted pianist who exhibits a singular affinity for Rachmaninoff’s Russian romantic idiom and possesses the blazing technique to fully realize his distinctive scores” (South Florida Classical Review), who is also highly recognized as a composer, visual artist, and poet. A herald of an enormous repertoire encompassing over 60 piano concertos and solo works ranging from early Baroque period to music of living composers, Asiya is a quintessential completist. She finds unique joy in performing collections of works such as the 24 Liszt Etudes or the entire Well-Tempered Clavier by Bach. Her emotionally charged and colorfully nuanced performances have gained her the admiration of audiences and resulted in many repeat engagements. Asiya, a pianist and composer, draws her musical inspiration from the legacy of Dmitry Shostakovich, having studied composition under his direct disciple, Albert Leman. She is the author of original works in multiple genres and instrumentations. Her historic solo piano transcriptions of Richard Strauss’ ‘Ein Heldenleben’ , Rachmaninoff’s Cello Sonata , Tchaikovsky’s ‘Manfred’ Symphony, Mussorgsky’s ‘Songs and Dances of Death’ have placed her among today’s formidable transcribers, and attracted attention of world-renown pianists such as Lang Lang and Polina Osetinskaya, who commissioned and recorded Asiya’s transcriptions. The most recent composition events include the world premiere recording of Asiya’s concerto for alto saxophone and piano, Poéme , performed by Thomas Giles and Liana Pailodze Harron; the publication of her transcription of Rachmaninoff’s cello sonata ; the premiere of her Piano Quintet ‘I marvel at the sky’, commissioned by the Third Dimension Music Festival; and the premiere of Con Brio for two pianos, performed
