Four Seasons Chamber Music Festival presents “Echos of Places Past”
A.J. Fletcher Recital Hall East 10th Street and College Walk, Greenville, NC, United StatesOur 25 th Anniversary Season continues with a concert featuring two works that evoke a clear sense of place. Although it was written amidst what he described as the “lovely hot hot days” of summer, Edward Elgar’s Piano Quintet in A Minor is anything but summery. Inspired by an ominous grove of bare trees in the English countryside, this work is by turns eerie, achingly nostalgic, and, eventually, jubilant. Equally rustic in inspiration is Antonín Dvořák’s String Quintet in E-flat Major, a work that resulted from a summer stay in Spillville, Iowa. This vibrant quintet, dubbed the “American,” combines Dvořák’s signature Czech style with plenty of new world influence. These monumental works are complemented by a pair of beloved miniatures by Elgar and Dvořák in a concert featuring pianist Sahun Sam Hong, violinists Xiao-Dong Wang and Stephanie Zyzak, violinist/violist Ara Gregorian, violist Hsin-Yun Huang, and cellist Marcy Rosen. Admission: $40 adult; $10 student/youth; Limited number of $10 Community Rush Tickets available the Monday before the concert.

The Music House 408 West 5th St., Greenville, NC, United StatesDonna Coleman’s worldwide recognition encompasses award-winning recordings, major prizes in international competitions, concert tours around the planet, and invitations from music schools on four continents for teaching and performance residencies. She is renowned for her interpretations of the music of Charles Ives, with two acclaimed recordings on the Et’cetera label, one of which, the "Concord" Sonata (KTC 1079) received France’s Diapason d'Or upon release. In his review, Christian Tarting wrote, “This Second Pianoforte Sonata . . . finds here its most convincing recorded version, due to its assertion, the assurance in its manner of effectively carrying out each detail, its analytical finesse.” Her half-century of research and study of Charles Ives and his music has been guided and supported by John Kirkpatrick, Curator of the Ives Collection of manuscripts at Yale University and pianist who gave the first complete performance of the “Concord” Sonata in 1939, by William Masselos, who gave the first performance of the Piano Sonata No.1 in 1948, and by Lou Harrison who copied that sonata from Ives’s manuscripts.
