BRIGHTMUSIC
CONCERT
"MASTERWORKS
FOR THREE"
TUES., NOV 7, 7:30
St. Paul’s Cathedral
127 NW 7th Street (at Robinson)
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
On Tuesday, November 7, 2017, Oklahoma City’s Brightmusic Chamber Ensemble will present its second concert of the 2017-18 season, “Masterworks for Three,” featuring trios by Mozart, Mendelssohn and Brahms.
Music Trivia Questions
Child’s Play Two of the composers on this evening’s program were perhaps the greatest child prodigies ever, and the third was also composing at an early age. Two were born in Hamburg into musical families, one to privilege and the other to a working-class couple. And one as a teenager wrote a piece of music that is today played at weddings the world over. (Answers somewhere below.)
The works on the program are:
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Piano Trio in G Major, K 564 (for violin, cello and piano)
Mozart was an 18th century Austrian composer, widely considered one of the greatest composers of all time.
Felix Mendelssohn, Piano Trio No. 1 in D Minor, Op. 49
(for violin, cello and piano)
Mendelssohn was a 19th century German Romantic composer
Johannes Brahms, Horn Trio in E-flat Major, Op. 40 (for violin, horn and piano)
Brahms was a 19th century German Romantic composer.
Brightmusic musicians performing are: Gregory Lee (violin), Meredith Blecha-Wells (cello), Kate Pritchett (horn), and Amy I-Lin Cheng (piano)
The performance will take place at 7:30 pm on Tuesday, November 7 at St. Paul’s Cathedral, 127 NW 7th Street (at Robinson). Individual concert admission is $20 per ticket. Children, students and active-duty military personnel are admitted free with ID. More information about this concert is available on Brightmusic’s website here.
Admission and Season Passes
Season passes for all five Regular-Season concerts AND all the concerts of Summer Festival VII are available for a $75/person season membership contribution, a remarkable bargain for world-class music by some of Oklahoma’s most accomplished musicians. Membership contributions may be made online here, by mail or at the door. We will send you a membership pass to be presented at the door. Single concert tickets will be available at the door for $20 each. Children are free, and students and active-duty military personnel are admitted at no charge with ID.
Let’s Be Good Guests!
The Brightmusic Chamber Ensemble is fortunate to be able to perform in St. Paul’s Cathedral, a magnificent acoustic chamber! So let’s show our appreciation. Let’s leave the venue as clean as we found it. Please pick up your program, cough drop wrappers, etc., before you leave, and if you borrowed a seat cushion, please return it to the stack at the back. The cushions, which are in limited supply, are provided for those who need one to sit comfortably through the concert.
Fall Weather; Foul Weather
Fall weather can bring severe thunderstorms or icy road conditions. For the safety of our Brightmusic friends and our musicians, Brightmusic concerts will be postponed in the event of dangerous road conditions. We will strive to make the decision as early in the day as possible, but weather or road conditions can deteriorate rapidly, especially in the case of severe thunderstorms, so there may be short notice. If you have concerns about travel conditions, listen for an announcement on KUCO (90.1 FM). Or you may call (405) 550-1484, (405) 216-5595, or (405) 550-7665 for concert status. Keep these phone numbers handy—just in case.
Make it Easy on Yourself!
In an effort to streamline “check-in” for concerts (if you arrive just before 7:30, there can be quite a line), one of the perks of your season membership is that you won’t have to wait in line at the ticket desk. Just show your season membership pass to the usher (the one with the programs), and it is that simple! To speed up the process, please have your season membership pass ready in hand.
Answer to trivia questions:
Mozart and Mendelssohn are widely considered to be the greatest musical child prodigies ever. Mendelssohn and Brahms were born in Hamburg, Mendelssohn into a prominent Jewish family and Brahms as the son of a professional musician and a seamstress. Scholars differ as to whether Brahms may have been forced to play the piano in bars and brothels as a child to help support his family. And Mendelssohn’s wedding march, written as part of his incidental music to a Midsummer’s Night’s Dream, was written when he was only 17.
