Haydn, Brahms & Gubaidulina

Johannes Brahms’ Quintet for clarinet and strings, a timeless masterwork, will bring back 
Rane Moore, who shone in last year’s Dreams and Prayers concert. The program begins with a piano trio by Haydn, architect of high classicism, that features EEC’s Laura Gilbert on flute rather than the usual violin (D major, Hob. XV:16) . Sofia Gubaidulina’s blazing originality is already evident in her early Piano Quintet, which reveals her origins as a soviet composer under the sway of mentors like Shostakovich, but still bursts with her own unique talent and energy.

Laura Gilbert, flute; Rane Moore, clarinet; Rieko Aizawa, piano; Jesse Mills and Anna Elashvili, violins; Thomas Kraines, cello; and Jonathan Bagg, viola.

Program: Josef Haydn: Trio for flute, cello, and piano (D major, Hob. XV:16)  Johannes Brahms: Quintet for clarinet and strings, Op 115 Sofia Gubaidulina: Piano Quintet (1957)
