Brightmusic Chamber Ensemble sends this information as posted below:
Brightmusic Chamber Ensemble ends its regular season concerts with three works in the Romantic style 7:30 pm Tuesday, April 30 at First Baptist Church in midtown Oklahoma City. The 19th Century Romantic movement began as a reaction to the Industrial Revolution with renewed focus on nature and deep expression of emotions. The program includes French, Russian, and Czech composers whose national identities infuse their individual sensibilities. The first half of the program features cello and piano, with Gabriel Fauré’s poignant Élégie (Elegy) and Sergei Rachmaninoff’s mystical sonata reminiscent of Russian Church music. The concert end’s with a string quintet by Antonín Dvořák, who explores many melodies in the full string instrument range: violin to double bass.
Program:
- Gabriel Fauré, Élégie, Op. 24 for Cello and Piano
- Sergei Rachmaninoff, Sonata for Cello and Piano
- Antonín Dvořák, String Quintet No. 2 in G Major, Op. 77
Tickets are $20 at the door and free for students and active-duty military with ID.
Musicians appearing: Katrin Stamatis (violin), Ashley Cooper (violin), Mark Neumann (viola), Jonathan Ruck (cello), Meredith Blecha-Wells (cello), Anthony Stoops (double bass), Amy I-Lin Cheng (piano)
