The English Touch

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 11 · 8:00 PM · SUNDAY, DECEMBER 12 · 2:00 PM

English music came alive with its greatest 17th century composer Henry Purcell. Other English composers followed, leading to London residencies of Handel and Johann Christian Bach, the `London Bach’ as he came to be known. We explore and celebrate England’s rich musical life of the time, in the company of the WSO Chamber Players.

Romantic Masterworks

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26 · 8:00 PM

Program:
Brahms: String Sextet No. 2
Mendelssohn: Octet for Strings
A nurturing of intimacies, quiet reflection and rich fund of melody characterizes Brahms’ Second Sextet for Strings. The freshness of youth cloaked in genius sparked Mendelssohn’s Octet for Strings – miraculous music that sprung from the pen of the16-year old firebrand whose inspiration overflowed with wideeye wonder. Two masterworks, whose presence on the same program elevate each.
