Program
- Guy Ropartz, Prélude, Marine et Chansons for flute, violin, viola, cello & harp (1928)
- Hanns Eisler, Fourteen Ways to Describe the Rain for flute, clarinet, violin, viola, cello & piano (1941)
- David Bruce, The Consolation of Rain for oboe, cello, percussion & harp
- Franz Schubert, Quintet in A Major for piano & strings, D. 667, “Trout”
There are few works as spirited and carefree as Schubert’s “Trout” Quintet, with its beguiling brook, darting fish, and sparkling waters. David Bruce muses on the life-affirming power of rain, and Eisler captures the moods and textures of a storm, from first drops until the sun breaks through. Rippling, rumbling, streaming, showering…we close our 26th season with a splish, a splash, and a buoyant encounter with nature.
"And, given how rich the group's concerts tend to be, it wasn't surprising that another theme manifested itself in performance: an anthology not of prose, but of ways of telling a story."
— The Boston Globe
