Program
SCHUBERT: from Moments Musicaux, Op. 94, D 780–No. 2 in A-flat major
FELDMAN: Piano, Violin, Viola, Cello
Musicians
SARAH ROTHENBERG, piano; GENEVA LEWIS, violin; KYLE ARMBRUST, viola; JAY CAMPBELL, cello
DACAMERA celebrates the 100th anniversary of the birth of influential American composer Morton Feldman, whose music uniquely suspends time. Feldman broke new ground in musical expression in the 1970’s with his experimental works that strove for the stillness of paintings.
In a rare performance of Morton Feldman’s poignant final work, with his signature exquisite harmonies and sensitive instrumentation, Feldman champion Sarah Rothenberg is joined by a remarkable ensemble of standouts of the younger generation of chamber musicians. The program opens with a salute to Feldman’s love for the music of Franz Schubert. Leave behind the rhythms of daily life and be transported to an extraordinary world of celestial contemplation.
