While
chamber music is at times intimate and personal, this program shows the
power that even a small number of musicians can create. On the program:
Bach's Brandenburg Concerto #3; Shostakovich's Two Pieces for Octet;
the only Piano Quartet by the great symphonist Gustav Mahler; and
Prokofiev's arrangement for solo piano of music from the ballet “Romeo
and Juliet.”
