SUMMARY:Close Encounters With Music: Dvorak – In the New World and Old World
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    \nAnna Polonsky\, piano; Miranda Cuckson and Giora Schmidt\, violins; Helena Baillie\, viola; Yehuda Hanani\, cello; Tyler Duncan\, baritone  \nFrom humble beginnings to stardom\, Antonin Dvorak 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 Dvorak's vocal output with selections from his Biblical Songs\, the Gypsy Songs cycle and others reflecting his abiding affection for Czech and Bohemian culture.

SUMMARY:Close Encounters With Music: World Premiere – Metamorphosis\, Love
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    \nJorge Martin\, Kenji Bunch\,  \nOmar Najmi\, tenor;  Dana Varga\, soprano; Samuel  Solomon and Nancy Zeltsman\, percussion;  Max  Levinson\, piano;  Yehuda Hanani\, cello  \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 Jorge Martin\, 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\, Faure\, Poulenc and Finzi.  It’s all about transcendence and love.
