Raj Bhimani continues his presentation of piano works by Germaine Tailleferre at the Library for the Performing Arts. This installment features a composition, dances from “Marin du Bolivar,” that is preserved by the Library that Tailleferre wrote while in New York. Previously unpublished works by the composer will surround this pair of dances from her comic opera.

Works by Mozart and Brahms will also be performed during the second half of the program.

Germaine Tailleferre was a French composer and the only female member of the group of composers known as Les Six. She lived a long life and was prolific as a composer,but much of her later music remains unknown, unpublished, rarely performed, and underappreciated. The French music publisher Editions de la Musique Fabrique has started issuing many previously unpublished Tailleferre scores.
