CCM
honors the bicentennial of Robert Schumann with a program showcasing the vitality of his music. His Adagio and Allegro is “quite possibly the finest piece ever written for horn,” according CCM co-founder and hornist, Gail Williams and the Piano Trio takes a more experimental approach to the harmonies of the time.  Bruch wrote Eight Pieces for his clarinetist son; the influence of Schumann can be heard in its Romantic swells. Though written when he was a student, Dohnányi’s Piano Quintet stands worthy among the greatest quintets of the Romantic era, garnering high praise from even Brahms, who proclaimed “I couldn’t have written it better myself.”

CCM Artists performing include  Larry Combs, clarinet; Gail Williams, horn; Joseph Genualdi, violin; Jasmine Lin, violin; Rami Solomonow, viola; Clancy Newman, cello; Meng-Chieh Liu, piano
