Week Three

SUBTLE SOUNDS

Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church

Last year the music world sighed farewell to Leon Kirchner, a Pulitzer Prize-winning composer who once remarked that his goal was “to possibly reveal the necessary intimacies between the past and present, which keep the art of music alive and well.” In this concert, a pair of his finely wrought chamber works are framed by classics of comparable finesse: a rarely encountered flute quartet by Mozart and Fauré’s Second Piano Quartet, in which the composer recalls the sound of church bells that wafted towards the village where he lived as a child.
