THE CAPITOL ENSEMBLE PERFORM WORKS BY BARTOK AND MOZART
PLEASE JOIN THE CAPITOL ENSEMBLE,
VIOLINISTS PHILLIP LEVY & SERENA MCKINNEY,
VIOLIST ALMA FERNANDEZ AND TWO WORLD RENOWNED GUEST ARTISTS,
VIOLIST KAREN DREYFUS (LYRIC PIANO QUARTET) AND CELLIST ERIC BYERS (CALDER QUARTET) IN A PERFORMANCE OF MOZART'S MAJESTIC STRING QUINTET IN C MAJOR K515.
THIS QUINTET WAS THE INSPIRATION FOR SCHUBERT'S GREAT C MAJOR CELLO QUINTET AND IS AS GRAND CREATIVE AND COLORFUL AS MOZART'S LATE SYMPHONIES.
IN THE 1920's, HUNGARIAN COMPOSER BELA BARTOK TRAVELLED TO HUNDREDS OF SMALL VILLAGES, (COMPLETE WITH A WAX CYLINDER RECORDING MACHINE)TO DOCUMENT THE RICH AND VARIED FOLK MUSIC OF HIS HOMELAND AND NEIGHBORING COUNTRIES.
HE LATER INCORPORATED THIS MUSIC INTO MANY OF HIS COMPOSITIONS.
IN THESE IMAGINATIVE AND ENCHANTING DUOS FOR TWO VIOLINS, BARTOK FAITHFULLY REPRODUCES MANY OF THE FOLK TUNES HE RECORDED WITH PATHOS, BEAUTY, HUMOR AND A FEW SURPRISES.
WITH THE SUPERB ACOUSTICS OF CONTRAPUNTAL HALL, THESE LITTLE GEMS BY BARTOK,PAIRED WITH MOZART'S MONUMENTAL QUINTET, PROMISE AN ENCHANTING EVENING THAT WILL HOPEFULLY LEAVE YOU ALL WITH A SMILE.
