The runtime for this program is approximately 2 hours, 15 minutes.
Ernest Bloch, Three Nocturnes for violin, cello & piano (1924)
Arnold Schoenberg, Ein Stelldichein (A Rendezvous) for oboe, clarinet, violin, cello & piano
Earl Kim, Exercises en Route for soprano, flute, oboe, clarinet, violin, cello & 2 percussion
Franz Schubert, String Quintet in C Major, Op. 163, D. 956
Interior passion meets exterior beauty in a program of poetic resonance, legacy, and memory. Earl Kim examines the passage of time and the nature of our existence through the arresting poetry of Samuel Beckett, and Kim’s teachers, Bloch and Schoenberg, share miniature twilight journeys of color and character. Composed in the final weeks of his life, Schubert’s Cello Quintet closes the circle on our exercises in living, remembering, and feeling.
