Concert Overview | 8:00pm
String Quartet in B-flat Major, Op. 76 No. 4, "Sunrise"
The slow, rising theme that opens this quartet gave the piece it’s nickname, “Sunrise.” The melody comes back throughout the piece played by the different instruments.
O Turn Not Those Fine Eyes Away
Blow and Purcell were near contemporaries and wrote a number of songs, five of which are brought together here in a “pastiche song-cycle” to tell a story of love won and lost.
She Loves and She Confesses
Evening Hymn
Ma mère l'Oye (Mother Goose Suite) for Piano, Four Hands
This joyous piece includes five short movements each based on a different fairy tale. They include Sleeping Beauty, Tom Thumb, and Beauty and the Beast.
Trio for Violin, Cello and Piano in C minor, Op. 101
This is one of Brahms’ most dramatic works. It starts dramatically and the intensity hardly diminishes through the remainder of the piece finishing with a flourish much like it starts.
