More Than A Remarkable Collaboration On the evening of Saturday, October 8th, pianist Elan Sicroff and violinist Katharina Paul will perform the music of Thomas de Hartmann, including works from his collaboration with Georges Ivanovich Gurdjieff.  Together they have presented this program through venues in London, Dublin, Prague, Tuscany, and Madrid. De Hartmann occupies a unique position in the classical music world. His early Russian Romanticism was blended with the Eastern music he heard and transcribed with Gurdjieff in the 1920s. His later output, from the 1930s until his death in 1956, is filled with both Eastern and Romantic elements. These are combined with the modern idiom, making use of dissonance and bitonality. All of these styles serve to illuminate the underlying message about Man's potential, which he learned from his years with Gurdjieff.
