Schubertian Send-Off
Sunday, August 17, 6:30 pm
Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church

As our 25th Anniversary Season reaches its close we revisit a work we commissioned in 1988, Ned Rorem’s Bright Music (for flute, strings, and piano), and we offer a piano concerto by Mozart. A full concerto on a chamber music program? Well, yes this is one of several the composer said might be conveyed perfectly well by a piano with string quartet. One of music’s transcendent masterworks, Schubert’s Cello Quintet, brings this anniversary celebration to a glorious conclusion.

Program

NED ROREM
Bright Music for Flute, Strings and Piano
MOZART
Piano Concerto in C Major, K 415 (with String Quartet)
SCHUBERT
Cello Quintet in C Major, D. 956

Artists

Marya Martin, Ani Kavafian, Soovin Kim, Che-Hung Chen, Fred Sherry, Peter Stumpf, Jeremy Denk

SOLD OUT

BCMF: offbeat - WHAT’S NEW?
Thursday, August 14, 6:30-7:30 pm 
Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church

The avant-garde trio Real Quiet offers a multimedia program of contemporary works you haven’t heard before. Cutting-edge premieres from Kaija Saariaho (a Finnish composer living in Paris), Huang Ruo (a Chinese composer living in New York), and the British composer James Aitchison offer a global glimpse of new music, with a newly-arranged trio by the late American composer Lou Harrison seeming almost ancient in this context.

Program

KAIJA SAARIAHO
Trio (East Coast premiere)
LOU HARRISON
Varied Trio (arr. Real Quiet)
JAMES AITCHISON
Vertical Rhythms (US premiere)
HUANG RUO
Real Loud (East Coast premiere)

Artists

Real Quiet – Felix Fan, Andrew Russo, David Cossin

CLASSICAL COMPOSURE
Wednesday, August 13, 7:30 pm
Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church

The penultimate of Beethoven’s full-scale piano trios is often overshadowed by those that surround it, the Ghost and Archduke. Not fair this is a work of genius, too, if more poised and “Classical” than its neighbors. Poise also envelops Fauré’s C-minor Piano Quartet, alleviating the disillusionment he funneled into it after a failed love affair. A lyric, heartfelt gem by Aaron Jay Kernis, in a new arrangement by the composer for flute and strings, holds its own between these chamber classics.

Program

BEETHOVEN
Piano Trio in E-flat Major, Op. 70, No. 2
AARON JAY KERNIS
Air for Flute and Strings (World premiere flute and string version)
FAURÉ
Piano Quartet in C Minor, Op. 15

Artists

Marya Martin, Ani Kavafian, Soovin Kim, Che-Hung Chen, Peter Stumpf, Jeremy Denk

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE
Sunday, August 10, 6:30 pm
Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church

Special Guest: Roger Waters

Stravinsky crafted The Soldier’s Tale for slender resources just after World War One, but he made no concessions of quality in this narrated tale of a fiddling soldier in a Faustian struggle. Arvo Pärt’s Summa, which its composer arranged from an earlier choral work, provides a spiritual prelude to Mendelssohn’s daredevil Sextet, an early work that, notwithstanding its “late” opus number, he wrote at age 15.

Program

ARVO PÄRT
Summa for Violin, 2 Violas and Cello
MENDELSSOHN
Sextet in D Major for Strings and Piano, Op. 110
STRAVINSKY
The Soldier’s Tale  - Narrated by Roger Waters

Artists

Stephen Williamson, Peter Kolkay, David Krauss, David Finlayson, Colin Jacobsen, Ayano Ninomiya, Nicholas Cords, Edward Arron, Donald Palma, Pedja Muzijevic, Ayano Kataoka, Roger Waters
