Duo Beaux Arts performing concert Saturday at St. Anastasia Catholic
From Staff Reports
Duo Beaux Arts, the husband and wife team of Catherine Lan and Steinway Artist Tao Lin, will perform in the St. Anastasia Catholic Church concert series at 7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 20 at 5205 A1A South. The concert is free.
In the second appearance of the piano duo at the church, they will perform “Music for Two Grand Pianos, Four Hands.”
Music director Peter Morin recalled two years ago when a similar duo canceled their scheduled performance.
“I scrambled to find a replacement and stumbled upon these two amazing musicians,” Morin said. “They had immediate standing ovations and played three encores. They are sensational!”

WTJU Dec 31st, 2020 | By Ralph Graves
This release features two live recordings from a Max Bruch Jubilee Concert. The recorded sound and the performances are first-rate. The Staatskapelle Halle directed by Ariane Matiakh has a warm sound that’s still richly detailed. The audience is so well-behaved that this could pass for a studio recording.
For many, Buch is a one-hit-wonder. His first violin concerto has overshadowed the rest of his catalog. The Jubilee Concert seems to have addressed that.
The Suite on Russian Themes shows Bruch as a master orchestrator. He doesn’t do much more than present the folk songs as-is. Interest is maintained through his inventive use of tonal color that varies greatly throughout the work.
