Black Marble in "Opera for Two" on WWFM

GEMS is pleased to present this WWFM radio broadcast (wwfm.org) of our 2018-02-06 Midtown Concerts Series performance by Black Marble: Jörg-Michael Schwarz & Karen Marie Marmer, violins. Their program, “Opera for Two,” included works by Leclair, Shield, Barbella & Mozart. The violinists of Black Marble are the co-directors of the internationally acclaimed baroque ensemble, REBEL, with whom they record and concertize extensively in the U.S. and abroad. The name ‘Black Marble’ derives from the English translation of their last names: Schwarz (German, for black) and Marmer (Dutch, for marble). The duo has performed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Kendal-on-Hudson Concert Series, Downtown Music at Grace (White Plains), Harvard Business School Concert Series, Cape Cod Early Music Festival and Midtown Concerts in New York City; in September 2010 Black Marble was featured on WQXR-FM’s ‘violin month’, in an interview and video performance hosted by Jeff Spurgeon. The ensemble aims to explore the rich, virtuosic and rarely performed repertoire written for two violins by Leclair, Telemann, Mozart, Reger, Spohr and Bartok, amongst others, on instruments and bows appropriate to their respective periods. The husband and wife team perform on equally well-matched Stainer violins dated 1660 and 1668, respectively.
