One of the season guests at the Brattleboro Music Center will give a concert soon.
The Sarasa Ensemble is presenting “His Dear Nightingale,” a concert that takes its name from a term of endearment. The Ensemble is a group of international vocalist and instrumentalists who play classical music for diverse communities. This includes adolescents in detention facilities, whom they encourage to grow through music.
Mid-Romantic period composer Johannes Brahms was inspired by the beautifully skilled playing of Richard Mühlfeld, a clarinetist, to compose his “Trio in A minor.” He referred to the musician as “his dear nightingale.”
The upcoming concert celebrates the sound of the clarinet in two works for a chamber ensemble, the aforementioned “Trio in A minor op. 114 for clarinet, cello and piano” by Brahms, and “Trio, op. 38” by Beethoven.
The Brahms piece will be first on the program, played by pianist Jean Schneider, cellists Jennifer Morsches and Timothy Merton, and clarinetist Eric Thomas. After intermission, the musicians will play Beethoven’s work. His “Trio, Op. 38” is his arrangement of his own earlier work, the “Septet, Op. 20.” He first imagined the Septet in 1799 and finished it in 1800. He refined it into the “Trio” in 1803.
The concert is set for Friday, November 18, from 7:00 pm until 9:00 pm. When events like this are on the schedule, brochure printing companies can create informative programs for audience members.
