Enjoy a free concert featuring music of Brahms, Aaron Copland, and Chinese composer Zhang Zhao. We’ll fill the hall with the sounds of piano, violin, clarinet, and string quartet. Come for great music, engaging commentary, and an informal vibe.
The program opens with Brahms D minor sonata played by violinist Carolyn Wu and pianist John Earle. Then pianist Steve Schwarz takes the stage for music of China's leading composer, Zhang Zhao. Steve will play the "Melodies of China: Chinese Folk Songs Arranged for Piano."
After intermission we turn to an unmistakably American work -- the sextet of Aaron Copland. Scored for clarinet, piano, and string quartet, we'll hear David Kass, Felicia Weiss, Kunie DeVorkin, Doug Julin, and Taka Ariga.
Engaging commentary enriches your listening experience. We offer a friendly and informal vibe.
Always Free. Always Enjoyable. Never Stuffy.
Free Admission.
