District5 Wind Quintet: transformed
In this program, District5 performs music that is not only transformative in nature, but also serves to transform the members of District5 into different configurations. The program includes works by Mozart, Villa-Lobos, and Carter.
The quintet will also be joined by special guest Trevor Mowry, co-principal oboe of the "President's Own" United States Marine Band.
Excelsa String Quartet
Thomas Adès' Arcadiana evokes images of idyll and conveys "a here that is gone, or is going." Excelsa contrasts Adès' mystical work with Mozart's String Quartet No. 16 in E-flat Major, which is one of six quartets that the composer dedicated to Haydn.
The program concludes with Steve Reich's Different Trains, which uses recording samples of train sounds and speech to juxtapose the composer's memories of being a Jewish child in 1940s America, with the memories of child-survivors of the Holocaust.
