Tickets to the Jan. 23 Notable Encounter Dinner are going fast - act now!
Dear ,
Don't miss your last chance this winter to join Scott Yoo and Festival guest artists for our last WinterMezzo Weekend, Jan. 22-24. There are three events to choose from:
The January program is centered on "Triumphant Endings" - final works that assured the legacies of composers Anton Bruckner, John Harbison and Franz Schubert.
The composer Benjamin Britten once said that "the richest 18 months in music history" were "the period in which Schubert wrote the C Major String Quintet." This pinnacle in the chamber music repertoire is a tantalizing monument to what might have been had Schubert's life not been so tragically short.
Anton Bruckner -Adagio from the String Quintet in F, WAB 112
John Harbison -Snow Country for Oboe and String Quartet (1979)
