Friday, July 12, 7pm: “The Universal Language of Music”
Old favorites and less-familiar masterworks are heard on this program of music from many different nations. The program includes Schubert's perennial favorite, the “Trout” Quintet, as well as music from Poland (Penderecki's String Trio), Argentina (Piazzolla Tangos for 4 Cellos), and Norway (Handel/Halvorsen Passacaglia for Violin and Viola).

While chamber music is at times intimate and personal, this program shows the power that even a small number of musicians can create. On the program: Bach's Brandenburg Concerto #3; Shostakovich's Two Pieces for Octet; the only Piano Quartet by the great symphonist Gustav Mahler; and Prokofiev's arrangement for solo piano of music from the ballet “Romeo and Juliet.”
