HOME AND FAMILY
SEPTEMBER 17, 2017

Our first concert of the season features three Czech composers from Bohemia, who were all connected to each other by teaching and family. Martins delightful Sonata for Flute, Violin, and Piano displays his unique sense of harmony and Czech style, seasoned with his years spent in Paris. The Piano Trio by Martins teacher Josef Suk is a wonderful late Romantic work from early in his career, and its style flows from the influence of his teacher Antonin Dvorak (who later became his father-in-law), whose glorious Wind Serenade concludes the program.

Sonata for Flute, Violin, and Piano H.254
Bohuslav Martin

Piano Trio in C Minor, op. 2
Josef Suk

Wind Serenade, op. 44
Antonin Dvorak

THREE TIMES THREE
NOVEMBER 12, 2017

The Musical Offerings November concert compares three trios, each of different instrumentation, in a cultural tour of central Europe. The lovely and light Serenade for Flute, Violin, and Viola from the German composer Max Reger opens with clean classical lines and beautiful harmonies. Bartok¡s Contrasts follows, with a keen sense of rhythm and Hungarian folk dance in a piece dedicated to Joseph Szigeti and Benny Goodman. Finally, from Vienna comes the charming Beethoven Trio op. 11, in a wonderful arrangement for clarinet, bassoon, and piano.

ANNUAL FOOD AND WINE EVENT
TASTES OF HOME
FEBRUARY 11, 2018

The annual food and wine concert will feature three works that weave dances into their character. We open with the exciting Polonaise for Cello and Piano by Chopin, a proud folk dance from his Polish homeland. We pair it with the Divertissement for Oboe, Clarinet, and Bassoon by cosmopolitan Czech composer Erwin Schulhoff. This trio, true to jazz and American influences in Europe at the time, features a Charleston, a waltz called Florida, and a last movement full of folk dance rhythm. Finally, we present the Nonet by German composer Louis Spohr, a gorgeous and virtuosic piece on the cusp of German Classical and Romantic styles, featuring our wind and string players in equal measure. Join us for our fifth annual concert of glorious music intermingled with food, wine, and lively conversation!

APRIL 15, 2018

Our final concert of the season shines the spotlight on three remarkable composers. The program begins with Moravian composer Leos Janaceks stunning and compelling Violin Sonata, followed by a lush, Romantic wind quintet by German composer August Klughardt. We close our season with Hungarian flair: Erno Dohnányi Sextet, featuring strings, winds and piano, in a work that begins on the serious side and ends in a light-hearted, jazzy romp for all the players!
