Step into an evening of musical beauty and storytelling in Intimate Echoes, a chamber music concert that brings together the lush, passionate melodies of the late Romantic era, the cinematic feel of Italian film scores, and the heartfelt elegance of a forgotten Serenade. With the intimate trio of clarinet, cello, and piano, this concert invites you into a world where music transcends time and space.
The program begins with the hauntingly romantic Trio for Clarinet, Cello, and Piano by Alexander Zemlinsky. Often overshadowed by the more famous names of his time, Zemlinsky’s deeply emotional work offers a tapestry of lush harmonies and yearning melodies.Â
Next, the concert takes a cinematic turn with a trio from the legendary Italian composer Nino Rota, best known for his film scores, including The Godfather series. Rota’s music blends evocative melodies and lush colors. In the intimate setting of a chamber trio, you can hear playful capers of comedy to the delicate nostalgia of an old-world romance.
The evening concludes with a hidden gem: Robert Kahn’s Serenade for Clarinet, Cello, and Piano. A composer known for his lyrical writing and graceful style, Kahn’s Serenade combines beauty and charm with an elegant, almost pastoral quality.Â
Throughout the performance, the musicians will create an engaging and personal atmosphere, sharing anecdotes, historical context, and their own interpretations of each piece, allowing the audience to experience these works not just as music, but as a shared journey through time, emotion, and storytelling.
Join us for an in an intimate and engaging concert experience that will resonate long after the last note fades.
