CONCERT PROGRAM
MISSY MAZZOLI | Still Life with Avalanche
BARBER | Summer Music, Op. 31
FRANZ SCHUBERT | Piano Quintet in A Major, D. 667, "Trout"
Carnegie Hall’s Ensemble Connect has been called “the new face of classical music for New York” by The New York Times. In the season’s first performance, they perform Schubert’s lively “Trout” quintet.
It’s a remarkable piece showcasing the composer’s gift for melody while highlighting
the uniquely beautiful possibilities unlocked by its unusual instrumentation. Also
featured is Barber’s Summer Music—an enduring favorite, and the composer’s sole chamber work for wind instruments—and
Missy Mazzoli’s Still Life with Avalanche, which she describes as “a piece about finding beauty in chaos, and vice versa.”
This event is free and open to the public; no tickets required.
Presented by the Department of Music and the Office of Special Programs
The biannual residency is made possible by the generous support of David and Beverly Sanders Payne '59 (October residency) and the Anna-Maria and Stephen Kellen Foundation (February residency).
Please mark your calendars for February 2024
