• MAY 8-11, 2013 :: 2nd ANNUAL TOUR OF VERMONT
> > Listen to our tour preview -- a live performance on VPR Classical with Walter Parker
Heliand Consort presents four concerts across Vermont featuring classical chamber music for woodwinds and piano by Telemann, Devienne, D'Rivera, Dvorak, Muczynski, and Poulenc.
The program takes listeners on a journey exploring some of the greatest pieces for woodwinds and piano from the baroque and classical eras through the 20th century. Among the highlights is the “Concerto in G Major” by Georg Philipp Telemann, one of the most prolific and creative German baroque composers. Also included are pieces which incorporate traditional dance music from the Old and New Worlds: selections from the “Slavonic Dances” by Antonin Dvorak and the “Danzon” by Cuban-American composer, Paquito D’Rivera, whose lyrical trio blends Cuban dance rhythms and Latin/jazz harmonies.
Dvorak’s lively dance suite was inspired by Brahms’s “Hungarian Dances”, and was originally composed for piano four hands (two pianists playing on a single keyboard). They are based on folk dances including the polka, mazurka, polonaise, and other traditional dances. The “Slavonic Dances” were an immediate hit, such that Dvorak’s publisher asked him to arrange the pieces for orchestra. Heliand Consort performs selections from the suite arranged for flute, clarinet, bassoon and piano.
Heliand Consort’s 2nd Annual Tour of Vermont is part of a nationwide celebration of chamber music taking place this May. The ensemble joins thousands of musicians across the country to celebrate National Chamber Music Month, sponsored by Chamber Music America. The tour features Berta Frank on flute, Elisabeth LeBlanc on clarinet, Rachael Elliott on bassoon, and Cynthia Huard on piano.
TOUR DATES:
May 8th: St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, St. Albans at 7:30 pm
May 9th: Richmond Free Library, Richmond at 7 pm
May 10th: First Congregational Church, Lyndonville at 7:30 pm
May 11th: Bethany Church in Montpelier, 7:30 pm
This program has been made possible in part through the sponsorship of The Field, with funding provided by our generous season sponsors.
