Featuring Martin Beaver, Violin; Clive Greensmith, Cello; Demarre McGill, Flute; and Fabio Bidini, Piano
This concert is included in this package: Season Sampler.
Travel across the centuries in this program of vibrant chamber works rooted in the rich Austro-Hungarian musical tradition. First, Haydn’s “Quinten” string quartet masterfully darts from major to minor as each movement transforms and embellishes the central theme. The winds then take center stage for Ligeti’s whimsical Six Bagatelles, a piece saturated with Hungarian folk melodies, before a violin, cello, and piano close out the concert with Brahms’s energetic and playful Trio No. 2.
Runtime: approximately 1 hour and 25 minutes including intermission
