At the dawn of the 20th century, in the last years before the world exploded into war and music turned towards atonality, romanticism in music reached its most intensely expressive point. The geographical and musical center of this outpouring of expressionism was fin de siècle Vienna, perhaps best exemplified by Gustav Mahler. Mahler left only a single piece of chamber music, one movement of a piano quartet. Though written while he was still a teenager, it demonstrates his intrinsic gift for creating melody and character in music. Erich Wolfgang Korngold represents the apotheosis of Viennese romanticism and is finally gaining belated recognition as one of the greatest composers of the 20th century. Musica Tra Amici’s survey of Korngold's chamber music continues with his beautiful and rarely heard Suite for two violins, cello and piano left hand. Commissioned by the pianist Paul Wittgenstein, who lost his right arm in World War I (and also commissioned Ravel’s Concerto for the Left Hand) this captivating work for an unusual combination of instruments is in turns, beautiful, exciting and witty. Longtime Metropolitan Opera concertmaster and new Rice professor David Chan makes his Musica Tra Amici Debut, joined by violinist Boson Mo, violist James Dunham, cellist Brinton Averil Smith, and Steinway Concert Artist pianist Evelyn Chen. Don’t miss this opportunity to experience two rarely heard chamber music gems from Mahler and Korngold in an intimate setting, followed by our typical Musica Tra Amici reception, where the audience and musicians have the opportunity to mingle and discuss the music over wine and Hors d’oeuvres.
