Winter Festival 2016-2017
A series to celebrate the spirit of Mendelssohn – featuring music by Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Chopin, and Schumann alongside the varied works of Felix Mendelssohn.
MENDELSSOHN ON FIRE
February 10th @ 7:30 PM
February, 12th @ 5 PM
Mendelssohn’s dazzling first trio raised the excitement bar for all piano trios to come. Before listeners rise to their feet at the finale’s conclusion, they’ll be left breathless by Schubert’s and Mendelssohn’s turbulent string quartets.
JOYOUS MENDELSSOHN
February 21st @ 7:30 PM
Blessed with a loving family, a thriving career, and all the talent one could ever hope for, Mendelssohn was among the most fortunate of the immortal composers. In this program of glowingly optimistic music, we find Beethoven at his wittiest, the melancholy Chopin in a pleasant mood, and Mendelssohn contributing three of his sunniest creations
MENDELSSOHN'S SORROW
February 26TH @ 5 PM
The height of our joys may be measured by the depth of our sorrows, and this final Winter Festival program visits extremes of the human experience. The darkness of Bach’s fugue is brightened in one by Mendelssohn; Schumann’s emotional piano trio is contrasted by the serenity of his Arabesque. But life’s thick clouds have often brought forth music of agonizing beauty: In his moving final string quartet, Mendelssohn openly grieves over the passing of his beloved sister.
