grand finale
Mozart wrote his virtuosic Oboe Quartet at a pivotal time, when he left his family and home town of Salzburg and struck out on his own in Vienna. Reflecting his growing independence, this quartet gets a modern makeover when Steven Banks—whose artistry was declared “transformational” by Seen & Heard International—reinterprets the oboe voice on saxophone. Joaquín Turina freely adapted mainstream European musical structures to suit his own expressive ideas, infusing Spanish folk tunes and the clack of castanets into his delightful Piano Quartet. In a lyrical contrast, Ernest Chausson’s Concerto wears its heart on its sleeve. Unreservedly showy and surging with passionate outpourings, this exquisite gem makes for an expansive, season-ending flourish.
PROGRAM:
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart | Oboe Quartet in F Major, K. 370 (arr. for saxophone)
Joaquín Turina | Piano Quartet in A Minor, Op. 67
Ernest Chausson | Concerto for Violin, Piano, and String Quartet, Op. 21
