The Sewanee Performing Arts Series presents the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center (Gloria Chien, piano; Kristin Lee and Sean Lee, violin; Richard O’Neill, viola; and Mihai Marica, cello) in a performance at 7:30 p.m., today (Friday), Feb. 26, in Guerry Auditorium.
This event is in collaboration with String Theory, the innovative chamber music series hosted by Lee University and the Hunter Museum of American Art in Chattanooga. The concert program—Mozart’s “Trio for Piano, Violin and Cello in E Major, K. 542,” Beethoven’s “Sonata for Violin and Piano in A major, Op. 47 - ‘Kreutzer,’” and Korngold’s “Quintet in E Major for Piano, Two Violins, Viola and Cello, Op. 15”—captures each composer at his creative best.
Mozart’s E Major Trio is a confident, bright work that belies the troubled circumstance under which it was written. Beethoven’s Kreutzer sonata is a major statement that pushed the boundaries of what a violin sonata could be. And Korngold, with his massively inventive piano quintet, creates a rich sonic world defining the sound of film for generations to come.
Performing Arts Series tickets are $25 for adults, $20 for seniors and $10 for students and are available at the door. Sewanee students, faculty and staff are admitted free with ID.
