Three Times Three

For our 2017-2018 season, The Musical Offering presents music from central Europe, filled with warmth, texture, and distinctive tastes of the folk cultures that nurtured their creation.

Featuring composers from Bohemia, Poland, Germany, Austria, Hungary, and Moravia, these works reflect sophisticated style as well as ties to their beloved homelands. Join us as we explore well known and less-familiar composers and celebrate their roots in the heart of Europe.

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.
