Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church
From Mozart’s jaunty Flute Quartet in D Major to Beethoven’s noble Piano Quartet in E-flat, this program journeys through elegance, energy, and innovation. Milhaud’s jazz-tinged Suite dances with wit and charm, while Eve Beglarian’s gorgeous I will not be sad in this world (commissioned by Artistic Director Marya Martin), is based on an Armenian troubadour’s song. Rounding out the program is John Metcalf’s shimmering Not the Stillness, inspired by a line from T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets, balancing motion with quiet depth.
Performance duration is approximately one hour and twenty minutes. There is no intermission.
