St. Cecilia Music Center has expressed extreme disappointment that, due to COVID19 restricting, it had to cancel the final Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center concert on April 30 due to COVID-19 restrictions.
And West Michigan’s chamber music devotees were certainly eagerly anticipating St. Cecilia’s final and sold-out chamber music concert of the 2019-20 season — “From Prague to Vienna”, featuring CMS co-artistic directors David Finckel and Wu Han both on Royce Auditorium stage, along with Arnaud Sussman and Paul Neubauer.
Alas, fans will have to wait until the 2020-21 season to catch the chamber music power couple in a live chamber music concert. But they can still catch the program they were going to perform at St. Cecilia tonight, April 30.
As provided by St. Cecilia this week, there are videos available of the pieces to be performed on the program (some personnel have been changed for some pieces).
Dvorak Sonatina in G Major for Violin and Piano, Op. 100
Suk Quartet in A minor for Piano, Violin, Viola and Cello, Op. 1
Brahms Quartet No. 1 in G minor for Piano, Violin, Viola and Cello, Op 25
And for those who love to dig deeper into the music, St. Cecilia also provided the program page from the SCMC program book, as well as program notes. A lecture on the Brahms Quartet No. 1 in G Minor for Piano, Violin, Viola and Cello is also available here.
(Ps. St. Cecilia also have a special message from Wu Han and David Finckel talking about the 2020-21 season’s lineup. And St. Cecilia Music Center’s CMS page will have tickets on sale in mid-May.)
