This dynamic program explores fascinating ensemble configurations and works brimming with character, contrast, and expressive flair — from the evocative lyricism of Brahms to the modern fire of Turrin.

The program travels through an enticing range of moods and textures: Poulenc’s Sextet offers Parisian wit and warmth in an effervescent dialogue between winds and piano. The program takes a more reflective turn with Schubert’s "Der Atlas" and "Der Doppelgänger”, haunting art songs transcribed for trombone and piano.

Turrin’s “Fandango” for trumpet, trombone, and piano brings bold rhythms and vibrant brass energy. The program’s final offering — the opening movement of Brahms’ Piano Quintet — concludes the afternoon with dramatic intensity and lyrical poignancy.
