About the program
Chang, Jodice, and Southwick played together during post-graduate studies at Longy School of Music and consider this program to be a conversation among friends, where one musician introduces a melody or motif and the others respond in the same or similar thread. The audience will experience this conversational paradigm of chamber music in the program as well, moving from simpler to more complex forms where each instrument repeats and layers the same melody at different times, giving each one a take on the theme. Even the composers conversed with one another. According to Jodice, In the [Rheinberger] fugue, you can hear Bach before Rheinberger takes off with his own style. The conversational, collaborative relationship of the artists will enhance this lively and uplifting program.
