Palaver Strings
Painted Dreams
This program recalls sunnier times in the depths of a New England winter. Beginning with Reena Esmail’a duo Nadiya, and continuing with the subtle textures of Jeffrey Mumford’s string quartet A Veil of Liquid Diamonds. An avid painter as well as a composer, Mumford writes that his work is “inspired by cloud imagery, suspended structures that continually split off and recombine as analogous to the formation of layers of simultaneous musical development.” We’ll wrap up with the epic Souvenir de Florence string sextet, written by Tchaikovsky on one of his visits to Italy. This epic piece is full of dashing escapades, romantic sentiments, and nostalgia for home, drawing on both Italian themes and the Russian melodies of Tchaikovsky’s homeland.
Nadiya for violin and viola - Reena Esmail
A Veil of Liquid Diamonds - Jeffrey Mumford
Souvenir de Florence, Op. 70 - Pyotr Ilich Tchaikovsky

In Stile Moderno:
The English Orpheus
If Orpheus charmed humans, animals, and even the gods of the Underworld with his lyre, then Henry Purcell, known as the “English Orpheus,” did the same for kings, queens, and commoners alike with his compositions.
In his short thirty-six years, he created an astounding 850 works of music or more—and they still captivate and enchant us centuries later. In Stile Moderno's spring concert will be an intimate evening of Purcell songs that journey from the sublime to the irreverent and back again.
Agnes Coakley-Cox, Sophie Michaux, Corey Dalton-Hart, Adam Simon, voices; Nathaniel Cox, theorbo
