Please join us for a musical romp from the 18th through the 20th centuries, with three quintets and two duos in both classical and jazz styles. Hear known and little-known pieces, all performed with verve and style.
If you viewed Rimsky-Korsakoff as merely the composer of Scherazade, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to discover his rarely heard Quintet for Winds and Piano, with virtuoso writing for all five instruments. Then there’s Beethoven’s response to Mozart’s popular Quintet for Winds and Piano, as well as seldom-heard pieces by C.P.E. Bach and Paul Bonneau. Our encore (because we know you are going to love this program) is the ever-popular Take Five, newly arranged for this concert. In short – something for everyone!
