About
Enjoy a spirited and intimate program featuring three works
for chamber ensemble. Ludwig van Beethoven’s cheerful Septet, written to
delight audiences, was one of his most popular works during his lifetime. Two
additional works, Alberto Ginastera’s *Impresiones de la Puna*
for Flute and String Quartet and Joan Tower’s *Island Prelude* for
Woodwind Quintet lean into lyricism, the latter having been inspired by Samuel
Barber’s beloved Adagio for Strings.
