Fresh Perspectives III: Worldly Romance
Wednesday, July 26 at 6:00 pm
Join us for a musical tour through the minds of three composers as we travel to France, Germany, and the former Czechoslovakia. In three masterpieces of chamber music, you’ll hear Gabriel Fauré’s Piano Trio in D Minor (rarely heard in this original instrumentation), Robert Schumann’s ingenious and stirring piano quartet, and Antonín Dvořák’s colorful and mighty Serenade for winds.
