GRAVITY & GRACE
GLENN GOULD STUDIO l 250 FRONT STREET WEST
The first concert of the new 2010-2011 season promises to be another stellar afternoon with music from Canada’s premiere chamber ensemble.
The programme:
Alan Gordon Bell (1953- ) “Trails of Gravity and Grace” for clarinet, cello and piano
Franz Liszt (1811 – 1886) “Hungarian Rhapsody No. 9” for piano trio, S.379
Franz Schubert (1797-1828) “Octet in F major, D. 803”
In 2002 Alan Gordon Bell wrote a wonderful, imaginative piece for Amici. We decided it was time to play it again and we are using it as the focus for this, the first concert of our new season. We find “gravity” in the little known but intriguing trio trio version of Liszt’s Hungarian virtuoso. When one thinks of “grace” in music, Franz Schubert’s name immediately comes to mind. His magnificent Octet for winds and strings is a favourite for performers and audience alike.
Benjamin Bowman, violin. Steven Sitarski, violin. Teng Li, viola. Jeffrey Beecher, bass. Michael Sweeney, bassoon. Neil Deland, horn. Serouj Kradjian, piano. Joaquin Valdepeñas, clarinet. David Hetherington, cello.
