Hans Werner  Henze Minette
Ross Bauer  Piano Quartet
Johannes Brahms  Piano Quartet in C minor, Opus 60, Werther

In his opera Minette, Hans Werner Henze chronicled the misadventures of an English cat; he then re-imagined the work to create a guitar duo version. We are delighted to present Michael Goldberg and guest Marc Teicholz in this compelling musical narrative. A dramatic character of another sort, Goethe's pensive hero, Werther, was the inspiration for Brahms' brooding C Minor Piano Quartet. Ross Bauer's Piano Quartet completes the program.

This is an evocative trio in four movements, including one titled "Cancel My Rumba Lesson."  We are also pleased to present clarinet works of Johannes Brahms and Left Coast composer Eric Zivian, along with Velvet Hammer, our first performance of a work by the young 2011 Gaudeamus Prize nominee, Sean Friar.

Lei Liang pays tribute to the great Mongolian musician Serashi, Sam Nichols to the Grosse Fugue of Beethoven. The program concludes with a late Beethoven string quartet, one of the unparalleled masterworks of the chamber music literature"music," as one historian described it, "that transcends music, that even transcends human feelings and thoughts, to achieve a spiritual level above all worldly concerns."

In his last years, Claude Debussy conceived of a set of six sonatas for "diverse ensembles."  He completed three, including the work for harp, flute and viola that appears on this concert alongside the premiere of Yu Hui Chang's companion piece for guitar, flute and viola. The string trio is the third diverse ensemble featured on this program; we'll hear Andrew Norman's spectacular Companion Guide to Rome, a collection of portraits of the composer's favorite Roman churches, which developed into "character studies of imaginary people, [his] companions for a year of living in the Eternal City."
