Our third week, our “official” 30th Anniversary celebration, starts with a work by Valerie Coleman, a world-class flutist, founder of Imani Winds, and composer dedicated to bringing new voices into the chamber music world. Rubispheres transports us to the Lower East Side of New York City and its eclectic mixture of punk, hip-hop, and even vaudeville. Those infectious sounds contrast beautifully with Samuel Zyman’s Quintet for the unusual combination of clarinet, bassoon, violin, viola, and piano. Full of lyrical counterpoint and propulsive rhythms, the Quintet showcases Zyman’s engagement with the sounds of his native Mexico. Perhaps no composer is more fitting to end a 30th. anniversary concert than Johannes Brahms, a man who made the ancient modern and infused it with new life. We end with Brahms imagining orchestral music written for nine players in the original chamber version of his monumental Serenade no. 1 in D Major, op. 11. Originally composed for nonet in 1858, he later made this work for both chamber orchestra and full orchestra, a prelude to his four remarkable symphonies.
