SUMMARY:Close Encounters With Music: Dvorak – In the New World and Old World
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\n\n$35 Balcony / $60 Orchestra (plus processing fees)\nMahaiwe Member Discount Event \nMember Sale: \nWednesday\, August 26 at noon  \nPublic Sale: \nFriday\, August 28 at noon  \nMembers receive $5 off each ticket    \nFrom humble beginnings to stardom\, Antonín Dvořák straddled two centuries\, two continents\, rural and urban sensibilities and folk styles inspired by Czech and Slavic traditional music as well as by an American sojourn. At home in different worlds\, his sublime String Quartet No. 12 “the American” was composed in Spillville\, Iowa during a blissful vacation\, and legitimized utilizing folklore\, spirituals\, and vernacular art as material for the next generation of American classical composers. The Piano Quintet\, a masterwork of Romantic-era chamber music\, stands as one of the twin peaks of the repertoire written for piano and string quartet (Brahms’s Quintet being the other!). Brahmsian depth\, Eastern European folk flavor and sheer melodic beauty characterize this joyful work. Also\, a taste of Dvořák’s vocal output with selections from his Biblical Songs\, the Gypsy Songs cycle and others reflecting his abiding affection for Czech and Bohemian culture.  \nAnna Polonsky\, piano; Miranda Cuckson\, Xiao-Dong Wang\, violins; Helena Baillie\, viola; Yehuda Hanani\, cello; Enes Petkas\, baritone

SUMMARY:Close Encounters With Music: Vivace Orchestra – The Golden Chain of Classical Music
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\n\n$35 Balcony / $60 Orchestra (plus processing fees)\nMahaiwe Member Discount Event \nMember Sale: \nWednesday\, August 26 at noon  \nPublic Sale: \nFriday\, August 28 at noon  \nMembers receive $5 off each ticket    \nWestern music at its apex—Haydn\, Mozart and Beethoven in full symphonic glory with large-scale repertoire never before performed in South County! Beginning with Papa Haydn\, the lively “Surprise” Symphony is his most beloved and most popular\, providing the model for how a symphony should be composed. Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante has a lyricism to be found nowhere else in all his oeuvre\, with an inspired viola part he wrote for himself to play. Beethoven’s First Symphony completes the magic circle. A masterpiece—iron-fisted control of structure\, with wit\, humor and irresistible charisma\, and as Roman Emperor Francis II\, who attended the premiere\, is reported to have said\, “There is something revolutionary in this music!” Vivace Orchestra brings together 26 top-tier soloists and chamber musicians in an orchestral setting\, under the direction of conductor Joshua Gerson.  \nSiwoo Kim\, violin solo; Luke Fleming\, viola solo

SUMMARY:Close Encounters With Music: World Premiere – The Metamorphosis\, Love
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\n$35 Balcony / $60 Orchestra (plus processing fees)\nMahaiwe Member Discount Event \nMember Sale: \nWednesday\, August 26 at noon  \nPublic Sale: \nFriday\, August 28 at noon  \nMembers receive $5 off each ticket    \nLoss\, remembrance\, joyous recollection\, metamorphosis and love. These are universal themes and a progression of states of emotion that animate the music and texture of the program. A work of shattering intensity\, Tchaikovsky’s Piano Trio was written in response to the composer’s grief at losing his beloved teacher\, Nikolai Rubinstein\, and at the same time recollecting the happy moments spent in his company. It is elegiac and cathartic\, as is the newest CEWM commission from Martín-Buján\, The Metamorphosis: Love\, that gives the program its name. The Poet/protagonist role is sung by a tenor in dialogue with his Muse\, sung by soprano\, which in the end becomes Music itself. The accompanying ensemble is cello\, piano\, marimba and vibraphone. A companion piece (narrator\, cello and percussion) is a 2015 CEWM commission from Kenji Bunch\, written to a Shakespeare sonnet of desire and longing. Plus art songs from Schubert\, Brahms\, Fauré\, Poulenc and Finzi. It’s all about transcendence and love.   \nMax Levinson\, piano; Hye-Jin Kim\, violin; Omar Najmi\, tenor; Dana Varga\, soprano; Samuel Solomon\, Nancy Zeltsman\, percussion; Yehuda Hanani\, cello
