Concert pianist Michael
Habermann will give a special
recital at the Farmingdale Public
Library's South Branch on
Sunday afternoon, April 24, at 3
p. m.
Michael Habermann was born
in Paris, France and has lived in
Canada and Mexico. He studied
with Carlos Vazquez, a pupil of
Egon Petri and M. M. Ponce, in
Mexico and with Barbara
Kupferberg and David Bradshaw
in New York. He gave the
Premiere of Dr. Eugene Glick-man's
Concerto for Piano,
Percussion and Orchestra last
year. He was heard on WNCN in a
special program featuring the
works of Villalobos, Chavez and
other composers. He has given
many solo recitals on Long Island
in which he introduced the music
of Kaikhoshru Sorabji and M. M.
Ponce. He also composes and
teaches piano.
The introduction of works by
Pars! composer Kaikhosru
Shapurji Sorabji in this recital is
of special significance.
Since the 1930' s the composer
has banned public performances
of his music. Michael Haber­mann
has special permission to
play in public as a result of
Sorabji's having heard a taped
performance of his music by
Habermann. Sorabji is one of the
most prolific and original
composers of the twentieth
century. He has not published
arty of his works, however, since
many years ago.
