Program

• Felix Mendelssohn, Lieder ohne Worte for cello & piano, Op. 109

• Sebastian Currier, Vocalissimus for soprano, flute, clarinet, violin, cello, piano & percussion

• Johannes Brahms, Piano Quintet in f minor, Op. 34

A notorious perfectionist and restless spirit, Brahms was his own harshest critic, writing and rewriting his scores with the precision of a poet. His piano quintet underwent three major transformations on the way to becoming the sublime essay we know today. Similarly, Vocalissimus is a tour de force of expressive possibility, as Currier interprets – and reinterprets – a single poem through a prism of 18 different characters.
