Derek Bermel,
Wanderings for woodwind quintet - Boston Premiere
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Quintet in A Major for clarinet & strings, K. 581
Leo Ornstein, Piano Quintet (1927)
In the early 1900's American composer Leo Ornstein dazzled
audiences with his virtuoso piano playing and electrifying
compositions. Famous enough to inspire a biography by the
age of 26, he abruptly abandoned his performing career to
teach and compose in near-obscurity until his passing - at
the age of 109! Don't miss this rare opportunity to hear his
piano quintet, an epic masterpiece of the genre fully the
equal of any of the great Romantic piano quintets.
