SUBLIME SOUNDSCAPES

This captivating opening night program features Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto #6, a unique masterpiece with its rich burnished tones of lower strings. Incredibly, this manuscript lay forgotten and unplayed for over 150 years. Next, two songs by Brahms combine the heartfelt lyricism of the human voice with the Bella’s beautiful acoustics. Finally, bask in the glow of Schubert’s incredibly powerful Cello Quintet, the last work he ever wrote, with its endless flow of sublime melodies and wondrous melting beauty.
