This final concert features the most requested work throughout the history of chamber music at An Appalachian Summer Festival: Brahms’ Piano Quintet. In keeping with Reflections Series International's goal of illuminating familiar works through context, the program compares and contrasts the sounds and colors of two disparate combinations (a string duo and a piano trio), all adding up to the grand finale quintet by Brahms.

Broyhill Chamber Ensemble: Divine Inspiration or Intelligent Design?

Event date: 
Thursday, July 12, 2012 - 8:00pm
Location: 
Rosen Concert Hall
Admission: 
$18 / $16.02 / $10

Gil Morgenstern, violin
Rieko Aizawa, piano

How could Beethoven have written one of his wittiest sonatas for violin and piano just as he was struggling with his growing deafness? Are works by the deeply spiritual Olivier Messiaen and Arvo Pärt "heaven sent?" And how did Aaron Copland, a nice Jewish boy from Brooklyn, find a way to so authentically capture the sounds of the American West? The Broyhill Chamber Ensemble explores the age-old question of where inspiration comes from, but also asks, “does it matter?”

Also featured will be a poignant work in Schubert's memory by American composer John Harbison.
