Our wacky private ear learns from a cookbook that there is apple pie, apple sauce, apple juice, apple strudel, baked apple, and more...and he gets a great idea. What if instead of an apple, he cooked up many variations on a musical theme? Theme and variations becomes the theme as Inspector Pulse investigates music by Beethoven, Schubert, Gershwin, and much more! |

Ives Sonatas
Stefan Jackiw and Jeremy Denk are recognized as two of today’s most significant chamber music artists, captivating audiences with playing that combines purity of expression with impeccable technique. Having performed together for the better part of a decade, they have developed such a natural rapport that one reviewer speculated that “the legendary 19th-century recitals of violinist Joseph Joachim and pianist Clara Schumann couldn’t have sounded better than Jackiw and Denk”? (Seattle Times). But leave it to the ever-candid Denk to define his recital partner best: “Stefan’s a rare combo: super-smart, perhaps even analytical, but not remotely cold or cynical. He helps you to remember that classical music is not just erudite crap for snobs and nerds–it’s supposed to take your exhausted, stultified synapses and give them a thrill they won’t soon forget.” |

Music and intrigue from the court of Frederick the Great fill this noble program. A standard-setting hub of ideas and influence throughout much of the Enlightenment, Frederick’s court employed C.P.E. Bach, son of J.S. Bach, whose progressive music the king preferred over his famous father’s. Yet the elder Bach would prove his mettle: after being challenged by Frederick to improvise over a complex 21-note theme the king had written, Bach responded with his sublime Musical Offering—the heart of which is heard here alongside music by the king’s court composers of choice: Quantz, who taught Frederick the flute; Graun, who served as his Kapellmeister; and C.P.E. himself, rumored to be the real author of the Musical Offering theme.
Program also being performed at the Brooklyn Museum on April 29 at 2:00 PM. |

Founded in 1946, the ever-evolving Juilliard String Quartet has become a living American legend. Widely known as the “quintessential American string quartet,” the Juilliard has been recognized for the boldness of its interpretation of the classics, with an equal and parallel tradition of championing the new — a vibrant combination of the familiar and the daring. The Quartet’s sound is famously characterized by clarity of structure, compelling rhythmic drive and an extraordinary unanimity of purpose, no matter the work at hand. |

ELLIOTT CARTER, CHRISTINA WHITTEN THOMAS, SALLY LAMB MCCUNE, KEVIN SIEGFRIED
& THE U.S. PREMIERE OF A BRIGHTER GARDEN BY PAUL HALLEY
Melodia Women’s Choir, New York’s premier ensemble for women’s choral music led by artistic director Cynthia Powell, closes out its 15th anniversary season with an all-American program THE HARMONY OF MORNING, titled from the rarely heard Elliott Carter composition by the same name for women’s chorus and chamber orchestra.
Set to poetry by Mark van Doren, The Harmony of Morning explores the language of nature and music as the purest forms of communication. It is an ode to the beauty and joy of the natural world and a perfect way to herald the spring.
Melodia is also pleased to perform the U.S. premiere of A Brighter Garden, by Paul Halley, as well as works from two previous collaborators, composers Christina Whitten Thomas and Sally Lamb McCune. The American folk Shaker Songs, by Kevin Siegfried, rounds out the program.

What is it about Mozart's Requiem that makes it a perennial favorite? From the time it was completed in 1792 by Mozart's student Franz Süssmayer, it has never been out of the repertoire. Perhaps the appeal lies in its sheer beauty and the intimacy, not always apparent in large-scale performances, with which Mozart sets this timeless text. With characteristic genius and grace, Mozart connects musical and spiritual realms, and by overlaying the natural restraints of neoclassicism with the passion of Romanticism, he depicts in music the peace of eternal rest alongside the bone-chilling fear of eternal torment. Composed just as Mozart was reaching the height of his creative powers, the Requiem offers exquisite melodies, rich orchestration, and a dramatic sweep that remain compelling after more than two centuries. The program also includes Michael Tippett's Five Spirituals from A Child of Our Time, stunning arrangements of African-American spirituals that form the structural pillars of this World War II oratorio. |

Music and intrigue from the court of Frederick the Great fill this noble program. A standard-setting hub of ideas and influence throughout much of the Enlightenment, Frederick’s court employed C.P.E. Bach, son of J.S. Bach, whose progressive music the king preferred over his famous father’s. Yet the elder Bach would prove his mettle: after being challenged by Frederick to improvise over a complex 21-note theme the king had written, Bach responded with his sublime Musical Offering—the heart of which is heard here alongside music by the king’s court composers of choice: Quantz, who taught Frederick the flute; Graun, who served as his Kapellmeister; and C.P.E. himself, rumored to be the real author of the Musical Offering theme.
Program also being performed at the The Church of St. Luke in the Fields on April 23 at 8:00 PM. |
