June 6, 2017Musicians of Ma’alwyck Final Subscription Concert of Season
In 1842 Schumann produced a series of chamber music works including 3 string quartets, the piano quartet and the glorious piano quintet. The quintet is paired with the pensive Epilogue of Rebecca Clarke for cello and piano and the dancy Thracian Suite for two violins and piano of Vasily Stoyanov. Also on the program will be the Suite Hebraique of Samuel Gardner (winner of the 1918 Pulitzer Prize for music) and having ties to the Capital Region through his grandson Eric Wiener. We will be presenting the local premiere of this beautifully crafted, never published work. Musicians of Ma’alwyck members are joined by guest artists Theodore Arm, violin (a member of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and the Angelfire Festival), Andrew Snow, viola and Palma Catravas, piano.
This concert is dedicated to Mildred Dresselhaus, an outstanding scientist, recipient of the Medal of Freedom, the Enrico Fermi Award, and the National Medal of Science, among a long list of awards. Professor Dresselhaus was a frequent visitor and lecturer at Union College and an avid chamber music player. She passed away on February 20th this year and we would like to honor her memory.
“A New Lease on Life” will be taking place on Friday, June 7 at 7 p.m. Tickets $25 for adults, $10 students.
