BEETHOVEN Piano Quartet in E-flat major, Op. 16
SCHOENBERG Verklärte Nacht, Op. 4 (1899)
SCHUMANN Piano Quintet in E-flat major, Op. 44
Beethovens towering influence over younger generations is clearly audible in the music of Schumann and Schoenberg - two composers who were central to the beginning and end of the romantic era. At the heart of the program is Schoenbergs Verklärte Nacht or Transfigured Night for string sextet, one of the most passionate and awe-inspiring works of the entire chamber music literature.
AUGUST 20 - TWILIGHT IN PARIS
POULENC Violin Sonata (1943)
DEBUSSY String Quartet in G minor, Op. 10
RAVEL Ma Mere LOye (Mother Goose) for Piano Four Hands (1910)
FAURÉ Piano Quartet No. 1 in C minor, Op. 15
From La Belle Époque until World War II, the
city of light underwent a creative renaissance
where French composers challenged the limits of
romanticism while exploring what would become
musical impressionism. Explore the intoxicating
palette of harmonies used by Ravel and Debussy,
Poulencs satirical flamboyance, and Faurés
gorgeous tapestry of late romanticism at the
Olympic Chamber Music Fellowships final concert.
Concerts take place at the Wheeler Theater at Fort Worden State Park in Port Townsend, WA.
