Program
- Darius Milhaud, La création du monde – Suite de concert pour piano et quatour à cordes, Op. 81b
- George Rochberg, Between Two Worlds (Ukiyo-e III) for flute & piano
- Pavel Haas, Wind Quintet, Op. 10

- Erich Korngold, Suite for two violins, cello & piano left-hand, Op. 23
The period between the wars was a hotbed of innovation bustling with new styles and means of expression. Korngold straddles the line between golden lyricism and unbridled bravado with a rare late Romantic treasure, and Haas mingles Czech folk songs with fanciful dances and prayerful synagogue music. Milhaud offers a joy-filled homage to the Jazz Age, and Rochberg paints a shimmering portrait of the floating world…between then and there, here and now…
"[They] ranged brilliantly over a huge spectrum…this memorable performance was evocative, cathartic, and simply ravishing. "
— The Boston Musical lntelligencer
