Fresh Perspectives I: Worlds Collide
Wednesday, July 12 at 6:00 pm
Having studied in Boston and in Vienna with Joseph Joachim, Japanese composer Nobu Kōda’s music is as unique as it is traditional. Violinist Elizabeth Vonderheide and pianist Eddie Newmam kick off a richly romantic evening of chamber music and bring this memorable piece to life. Combined with a colorful woodwind quintet by Kōda’s contemporary from Berlin, Theodor Blumer, and the incredible (and quirky) “Trout” quintet by Franz Schubert, this concert is sure to remind you why chamber music can be reflective, intimate, and moving!
