6pm: Liebermann/Coleman/Brahms

“Tzigane” is another term for a “Hungarian Gypsy,” and the music of the Roma has fascinated composers for generations. Among them are both Brahms, whose G minor Piano Quartet ends with a rollicking “Tzigane” dance movement., and Valerie Coleman, who explores this music in a modern context. We open the program with another tribute to sounds from the past: Lowell Liebermann’s take on a theme of Bach.

PROGRAM:

Liebermann, Fantasy on a Fugue by J. S. Bach for Wind Quintet and Piano

Valerie Coleman, Tzigane for Wind Quintet

6pm: Brahms and More

Brahms’ C minor Piano Quartet had a tortured birth, with roots going back 20 years to his unresolved love for Clara Schumann. While it is full of dark drama and uncertainty, Carlos Simon’s trio that opens the program is all about a calm inner peace. In between is a BCM-commissioned new work by Paul Moravec, the roots of which go back almost 20 years, to a work originally commissioned by Marya Martin in honor of her mother called “Nancye’s Song.”

PROGRAM:

Simon Be Still and Know for Piano Trio

Moravec NEW WORK for Flute, String Quartet, and Piano
