    Haydn, Brahms & Gubaidulina

    Baldwin Auditorium, Duke University 1336 Campus Drive, Durham

    Johannes Brahms’ Quintet for clarinet and strings, a timeless masterwork, will bring back the Rane Moore, who shone in last year’s Dreams and Prayers concert. The concert begins with a trio by Haydn, architect of high classicism, that features flutist Laura Gilbert. Sofia Gubaidulina’s blazing originality is already evident in her piano quintet, which also reveals her origins as a soviet composer bursting with talent and energy.

    Passing the Torch

    Baldwin Auditorium, Duke University 1336 Campus Drive, Durham

    In 1853, Robert Schumann famously declared Johannes Brahms the composer destined to carry Beethoven’s legacy forward. Four decades later, Brahms endorsed the publication of Alexander Zemlinsky’s Trio, Op. 3 by Simrock in 1896. Just three years later, in 1899, Zemlinsky’s student, Arnold Schoenberg, composed his groundbreaking work, Verklärte Nacht, (Transfigured Night) Op. 4. We trace this remarkable arc of creativity through early piano trios of these three pivotal figures in the German musical tradition.
