Experience the many moods of mother nature with a program that takes the listener out on a stroll through the countryside. Dawn breaks with a spritely Aubade from the pen of Romanian composer George Enescu, followed by the summery energy of a violin-cello duo by Christopher Theofanidis. Midafternoon shade comes via the beloved love songs of Antonín Dvořák, transcribed by the composer for string quartet in his Cypresses. The effervescence of Haydn’s The Bird string quartet turns the listener’s steps homeward, where the program closes with Ernest Bloch’s Three Nocturnes for Piano Trio.
