Indian sitarist Ravi Shankar, who devoted much of his career to spreading Hindustani classical music around the world, was nothing if not musically versatile, collaborating with Philip Glass, Yehudi Menuhin, and of course, George Harrison. Shankar continues to bring musical cultures into contact in his ‘Enchanted Dawn’, which opens this evening’s program. Then, a chance to hear the Violin Sonata of Respighi, himself an accomplished violinist, a piece which culminates in an energetic passacaglia and sets the scene for Brahms’s…

Opening their program with one of Mendelssohn’s early quartets, the ensemble then travels to Italy. First, they bring to life one of Puccini’s rare chamber music gems: better known for his contributions to the Italian stage, Puccini wrote the elegiac Crisantemi (Chrysanthemums) in response to the death of his friend, the Duke of Savoy. Then, Hugo Wolf, a composer famed for his song settings, creates an Italian melody for quartet in his exquisite Serenade. After the intermission, bassist Kurt Muroki…

Mozart took easily to violin sonatas, composing his first at the age of six and returning to the form throughout his life. Things were slightly different for Pulitzer Prize–winning composer John Harbison (on faculty this summer), who was in his seventies when he composed his first Sonata for Violin and Piano, which features ‘Sinfonia’ and ‘Aria’ among its five interwoven movements. After the intermission, Ravel taps into his own Basque roots in his incandescent Piano Trio. WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART Violin…

This evening’s program opens with one of Brahms’s proudest dispatches from the Austrian countryside where he enjoyed creative summertime retreats. Then, composer-in-residence John Harbison transports us from the New England sun to the oppressively dark expanse of a Wisconsin winter for Snow Country, featuring the oboe against an earthy backdrop of string textures. To conclude the concert with the first orchestral performance this season, we welcome Armenian-born and internationally renowned cellist Narek Hakhnazaryan for his Festival début, playing Tchaikovsky’s concerto-like…

With innovative multi-genre original productions, sensational interpretations of modern classics, and an “exhilarating blend of precision and anarchy, rigor and bedlam” (The New Yorker), Sō Percussion has redefined the scope and vital role of the modern percussion ensemble. Sō’s repertoire ranges from “classics” of the 20th century, to commissioning and advocating works by contemporary composers, to distinctively modern collaborations with artists who work outside the classical concert hall. Sō Percussion also composes and performs their own works, ranging from standard concert…
