TODD CROW, Music Director
Tuesday evenings at 8:15 p.m. At the Neighborhood House on Main Street in
The Jupiter String Quartet makes its festival debut on the opening concert of the series on July 22th in a program featuring Schumann's Piano Quintet with music director and pianist Todd Crow. The Borromeo String Quartet returns on July 29th for a program to include quartets by Schumann and Bartók. On the third concert, guest artists violinist Stephanie Chase, violist Dov Scheindlin, cellist Mark Shuman, and flutist Mario Carbotta, in his first appearance at these concerts, will join Todd Crow in some rarely heard 19th century Italian flute music. On August 12th, the Daedalus Quartet returns with bassist David Grossman, clarinetist Jo-Ann Sternberg, bassoonist Douglas Quint, and hornist Patrick Pridemore to play a string/wind arrangement of Strauss's famous tone poem Till Eulenspiegel. The Brentano String Quartet closes the season on August 19th with Haydn's Piano Concerto in D major with Todd Crow.
Other composers to be heard this summer are Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Donizetti, Mercadante,
Fauré, Webern, Dohnányi, and Barber. The festival aims to present chamber
music at its best in an intimate setting. Much of the aura,
which is both informal and serious, is due to the ambiance of the Neighborhood
House, whose fine acoustics and old world charm add much to the intimacy of
communication upon which chamber music thrives.
