We are thrilled that the compelling and internationally renowned soprano
Roberta Alexander will be singing songs by Schubert, Ives, Liszt & Brahms with the wonderful Ernst Munneke at the piano.
Roberta is just back from an exciting season of opera roles at La Scala in Milan, the Staatsoper in Berlin with Daniel Barenboim conducting and the Royal Opera House in London under the baton of Antonio Pappano.
Ernst Munneke will also perform the virtuosic Mendelssohn Piano Sextet in D major (1824) for piano and 5 strings. Rounding off the program will be the Clarinet Quintet by Andreas Romberg (1818) with Nancy Braithwaite, clarinet.
The strings in both instrumental works have a particularly warm and rich sound due to the less common use of 2 violas with violin, cello and double bass instead of the usual 2 violins and 1 viola. Romberg’s work is clearly inspired by Mozart’s clarinet quintet which was written only 29 years earlier.
Once again you will be treated to the sublime string playing of Elisabeth Perry, violin, Richard Wolfe, viola and Matthias Naegele, cello.
We hope to greet you at a performance!
