SUMMARY:Duke Arts Presents: Memories and Aspirations
DESCRIPTION:In honor of the recent passing of renowned American composer Paul Schoenfield\, Ciompi revisits a powerful and poignant work they commissioned in 2003. Memoirs\, the second of Schoenfield’s two string quartets\, is a deeply personal composition written in memory of the composer’s father. The program opens with a transcription of one of J. S. Bach’s early masterworks\, the Passacaglia and Fugue in C Minor for Organ. Composed during Bach’s formative years in Arnstadt\, this bold and intricate work stands as one of his most ambitious achievements of the period\, revealing a composer willing to break the mold of established structures. The evening concludes with another youthful triumph—Franz Schubert’s String Quartet No. 4 in C Major. Brimming with energy and early signs of the lyrical style that would define his later works\, the quartet offers a fitting close to a program that encompasses both prodigious talent and mature personal reflection. \n\nThe Program\nBach: Passacaglia and Fuge in C Minor\, BWV 582 for Organ – arranged for String Quartet by Nicholas Kitchen\nPaul Schoenfield: Movement V. “In Memoriam” from String Quartet No. 2 Memoirs (2003) – Commissioned by the Ciompi Quartet\nMelinda Wagner: My Tioga (2014) – Commissioned by the Ciompi Quartet\nSchubert: String Quartet No. 4 in C Major\, D. 46 \nPresented by Duke Arts Presents. \nDuke Arts\nDuke Arts champions expansive\, inclusive\, and impactful arts programs that build meaningful connections between campus\, community\, and global audiences. \nPlease Reserve Tickets in Advance Here

SUMMARY:Cultural Crossroads: Dvořák in America
DESCRIPTION:This remarkable program makes its way to the Dvořák Concert Hall in Charleston. This is a live concert experience that explores the Black and Indigenous influences on Dvořák during his time in America. The program weaves original Native American melodies and moving African American Spirituals along with Dvořák’s most beloved chamber music. Short videos and imagery add to this powerful multimedia experience. Cultural Crossroads: Dvořák in America with its stellar and diverse cast of musicians is a catalyst for audience engagement as it entertains\, educates\, and inspires – drawn from the curiosity of a Czech composer a century ago. \nThe Program\nAntonín Dvořák (1841-1904): Finale from String Quartet No. 12\nR. Carlos Nakai (1946-): Butterflies Dancing\nTraditional African American Spiritual: Swing Low\, Sweet Chariot\nAntonín Dvořák (1841-1904): Allegro non tanto from String Quintet No. 3\nTraditional African American Spiritual: My Lord\, What a Morning\nR.

A seven-time Grammy nominee and winner of several US\, Canadian\, and Indigenous awards\, he has recorded over 70 albums\, and collaborated with many internationally acclaimed artists and ensembles\, most notably through his 30-year association with Native American flutist R.

In his 40-year career as an arts educator\, he has given hundreds of presentations\, impacting a range of communities from traditional school settings to hospitals\, prisons\, and parks. \nKenneth Kellogg is a Washington\, DC native and alumnus of the city’s Duke Ellington School of the Performing and Visual Arts. Active in both the US and Europe\, he has worked with the San Francisco Opera\, LA Opera\, Washington National Opera\, Opera de Oviedo\, and Opera de Lausanne\, among others.

SUMMARY:Vienna to L.A.
DESCRIPTION:In a concert celebrating composer Arnold Schoenberg’s 150th anniversary\, the Ciompi Quartet performs a program of works connected by time and place. Mozart’s Vienna produced quartets like his K. 589: formally perfect\, deeply learned\, but with an effortless grace. Erich Korngold and Arnold Schoenberg\, both raised in Vienna\, were polar-opposites by the mid-1930s when they arrived in Los Angeles: Schoenberg was an avant-garde modernist and a revered figure in the Academy (UCLA); Korngold was a composer of lush romantic scores that were sought after by Hollywood. Both wrote brilliant quartets that gave their Viennese origins a 20th century incarnation. \nThe Program\nW.A. Mozart: String Quartet #22 in B-flat major\, K. 589\nArnold Schoenberg: String Quartet #4\, Op. 37 (1936)\nErich Wolfgang Korngold: String Quartet #2\, Op. 26 (1933) \nPresented by Duke Arts. \nDuke Arts\nDuke Arts champions expansive\, inclusive\, and impactful arts programs that build meaningful connections between campus\, community\, and global audiences. \nPlease Reserve Tickets in Advance Here
