Musical Soulmates 10/23

Musical Soulmates presents “Yearning” at Calvary Episcopal Church.

It is a delight to be starting off our 2022-2023 season with another evening of Piano Quintets. This intimate evening includes the complete and illustrious Brahms Piano Quintet, a masterpiece borne not only of Brahms’ musical genius and turbulent emotions but through his collaborative journey with his own Musical Soulmates: Joseph Joachim and Clara Schumann. The evening includes selections from Ives and Grenados, which also evoke a deep yearning- perhaps personal, spiritual, or some of both. In a radical collaboration, Sarah Cruse joins us on the Ives, bringing Ives’ 20th century avant-guarde sensibility into this century, overlaying the music with singing and spoken word. We present the other-wordly Allegretto quasi andantino from the Grenados Piano Quintet and reprise our favorite movement of Dvorak, from last October, the Scherzo, with Bhavananda Lodkey again gracing the music with poetic embodiment of a Rumi poem.

Please be prepared to show proof of vaccination and booster; masks may be required.
