Week One

MENDELSSOHN EARLY & LATE
Sunday, July 27, 6:30 pm
Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church

Written as an uplifting work during World War Two for Martha Graham’s dance troupe, Copland’s masterpiece Appalachian Spring highlights the evening. Also on this program is a generous measure of Mendelssohn: his buoyant Octet, the astonishing creation of a precocious 16-year-old, and two string quartet movements written in 1847, just a few months before his untimely death.
