The Festival Artists return to the Harold J. Miossi CPAC for the final chamber concert of the summer. Lesser known Austrian composer Thuille is best remembered for his sextet for piano and winds, which opens this program. Then we will hear Bridge's Piano Quintet and Dorothy Rudd Moore's Three Pieces. Finishing the program is Mendelssohn's Viola Quintet, one of the final pieces he composed which was not published until four years after his death because he deemed it "not good."
The annual concert in Mission San Luis Obispo once again features an incredible quintet by Mozart, featuring two violas. Brahms' Sextet is up next, which shows the composer's mastery of this particular ensemble. The Festival Brass kick off the second half with sonorous pieces by Gabrieli, and living American composer John Adams' 1992 Chamber Symphony finishes the program, conducted by Scott Yoo.
Scott Yoo and the Festival Artists will take you on a "museum docent's tour" of John Adams' Chamber Symphony during this one-hour event. He and the musicians will discuss the pieces' histories, the composers' influences and musical styles, and perform some selections. These are amazing opportunities to learn a little more about this great music before you attend the concerts.
