BRIGHTMUSIC CHAMBER
ENSEMBLE CONTERT 1
"VOILA: VOILA!"
tUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25 7:30 P.M.
Voilà! A remarkably versatile French word meaning, among other things, Look! See! Here it is! And so, Brightmusic Chamber Ensemble proudly presents “Voilà: Viola!” an evening of viola in the premier of its 2018-19 season, featuring special guest violist Miles Hoffman on Tuesday, September 25, 2018. Hoffman will join Ensemble musicians in works by contemporary American Lowell Liebermann, German romantic composer Max Bruch, and classical-era Austrian W. A. Mozart. Hoffman, one of America’s best-known violists, is the host of NPR’s A Minute with Miles. Come and treat yourself to about 90 minutes with Miles!
Miles Hoffman, best known for his work with NPR, including “A Minute with Miles” and “Performance Today,”
is a graduate of Yale University and The Juilliard School. He is the
violist and artistic director of the American Chamber Players and the
Distinguished Visiting Professor of Chamber Music at the Schwob School
of Music at Columbus State University in Columbus, Georgia. So, how’s
your understanding of classical music? Professor Miles has some
thoughts on that. Click here.
The works on the program are:
So
how well DO you know the instruments of the orchestra? Everyone is
familiar with the treble clef, but can you name the member of the violin
family that plays primarily in the alto clef, pictured at left? Hint:
This mystery instrument will make an appearance in Concert 1. Answer
below.
Gregory Lee and Katrin Stamatis (violin), Miles Hoffman and Mark Neumann (viola), Jonathan Ruck (cello), Chad Burrow (clarinet), and Amy I-Lin Cheng (piano)
The performance will take place 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 at www.brightmusic.org.
Season ticket price increase: You may have already noticed that season subscriptions are now $100 per person. This is the first time we have raised the cost of a season membership since we began to offer them in 2011, and we were reluctant to increase prices now. To insure the financial security and longevity of Brightmusic, however, an increase is necessary. That still comes out to only $11.11 per concert, a remarkable value considering the virtuosity of the musicians and the caliber of the performances. We hope you will understand and continue to support Brightmusic. By the way, under current tax law, the membership payment itself is not tax deductible. Any over-and-above contribution continues to qualify as a deductible charitable contribution for tax purposes. Please be generous and consider an over-and-above contribution.
