SUMMARY:Sentimental Cello
DESCRIPTION:NEPACMS ends their 2022-2023 concert season with a spectacular lineup of artists and lush music. Tchaikovsky’s admiration and reverence of Beethoven can be seen in his letters\, articles\, and diary entries\, but he would himself leave an indelible influence and legacy as seen in the music of Glière and Arensky. Arensky’s most popular work\, and rightfully so\, Variations on a Theme of Tchaikovsky\, was an arrangement of the beautiful second movement of his own second string quartet dedicated “To the memory of Tchaikovsky” and written for violin\, viola\, and two cellos. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nPROGRAM\n\n\n\nReinhold Glière Ten Duets for Two Cellos\, Op. 53 \n\n\n\nI. ComodoVI. EnergicoVII. AnimatoVIII. GiocosoIV. Vivace \n\n\n\nLudwig van Beethoven String Trio in C Minor\, Op. 9 No. 3 \n\n\n\nPyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky Allegro moderato for string trio\, TH 152 \n\n\n\nAnton Arensky String Quartet No. 2\, Op. 35 \n\n\n\nARTISTS\n\n\n\nJohn Vaida\, violin \n\n\n\nAmy Iwazumi\, viola \n\n\n\nEmilio Colón\, cello \n\n\n\nCara Elise Colón\, cello

SUMMARY:Clarinet Counterpoint (Montrose)
DESCRIPTION:Mozart’s Clarinet Quintet in A Major was written almost 125 years earlier than Somervell’s Clarinet Quintet in G Major\, yet both works have extraordinary poignancy and feature the clarinet as a lyrical voice. Despite\, or one might argue that by virtue of\, the difficulties Mozart was experiencing the year he composed the work\, between Constanze’s difficult pregnancy and his own financial and health woes\, a beautiful and transcendent composition was born. Arthur Somervell\, known mostly for his song cycles\, has woven his poetic and lyrical flare into this romantic clarinet quintet\, making for a sublime chamber work that is not to be missed! \n\n\n\nFRIDAY 11/3 St. Paul’s Episcopal Montrose at 7PM (Free Admission)\n\n\n \n276 Church St\, Montrose\, PA 18801\n\n \nPROGRAM\n\n\n\nWolfgang Amadeus Mozart Clarinet Quintet in A Major\, K. 581 \n\n\n\nArthur Somervell Clarinet Quintet in G Major \n\n\n\nARTISTS\n\n\n\n \nCalvin Falwell\, clarinet \n\n\n \nJohn Vaida\, violin \n\n\n \nArthur Moeller\, violin \n\n\n \nAmy Iwazumi\, viola \n\n\n \nBryan Hayslett\, cello

DESCRIPTION:NEPACMS is thrilled to present its most ambitious program yet\, pairing the sublime Brahms Second Sextet\, a masterpiece exuding elegance and rich lyricism\, with Tchaikovsky’s Souvenir de Florence\, a bright and vigorous composition for string sextet\, reminiscent of his renowned ballets. Over several years\, Tchaikovsky painstakingly sketched\, worked on\, and reworked Souvenir de Florence\, and expressed that composing for a string sextet is “terribly difficult…it seems that rather than writing for six voices\, I am\, in essence\, composing for the orchestra\, and only then arranging it for six string instruments.” Indeed\, these magnificent string sextets will fill the venue with resonances like an orchestra! \n\n\n\n(No senior/student discount.

SUMMARY:Dedications (Wilkes-Barre)
DESCRIPTION:The Schumann Piano Quintet\, Borodin String Quartet No. 2\, and Webern Langsamer Satz were all written as an expression of love for their wife: Clara Schumann is the dedicatee of the Piano Quintet and gave its first performance\, the Second String Quartet was dedicated to Borodin’s wife as an anniversary gift 20 years after being engaged\, and Webern was inspired to write the Langsamer Satz after falling in love with his future wife. Unlike the atonal and twelve-tone works Webern is most known for\, the Langsamer Satz is a deeply romantic and sentimental work synonymous to the style of Schumann and Borodin. \n\n\n\nFRIDAY\, March 15\, 2024 at 7PM\n\n\n \nFirst Presbyterian Church Wilkes-Barre97 S Franklin St\, Wilkes-Barre\, PA 18701\n\n \nProgram\n\n\n\nÆ Rømeser (Danish traditional) arr. by Danish String QuartetThe Dromer (Danish traditional) arr. by Danish String QuartetAnton Webern Langsamer SatzAlexander Borodin String Quartet No. 2Robert Schumann Piano Quintet in E-flat Major\, Op. 44 \nArtists\nJohn Vaida\, violinSofia Kim\, violinAmy Iwazumi\, violaZachary Mowitz\, celloBrian Farrell\, piano \nThis program is supported in part by the Northeastern Educational Intermediate Unit 19 and Pennsylvania Council on the Arts\, a state agency funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the National Endowment for the Arts\, a federal agency.

SUMMARY:Dedications (Lycoming College)
DESCRIPTION:The Schumann Piano Quintet\, Borodin String Quartet No. 2\, and Webern Langsamer Satz were all written as an expression of love for their wife: Clara Schumann is the dedicatee of the Piano Quintet and gave its first performance\, the Second String Quartet was dedicated to Borodin’s wife as an anniversary gift 20 years after being engaged\, and Webern was inspired to write the Langsamer Satz after falling in love with his future wife. Unlike the atonal and twelve-tone works Webern is most known for\, the Langsamer Satz is a deeply romantic and sentimental work synonymous to the style of Schumann and Borodin. \nSATURDAY\, March 16\, 2024 at 7PM\n\n\n \nLycoming College Trachte Music CenterMary Lindsay Welch Honors Hall304 E 4th St\, Williamsport\, PA 17701\n\n \nProgram\n\n\n \nÆ Rømeser (Danish traditional) arr. by Danish String QuartetThe Dromer (Danish traditional) arr. by Danish String QuartetAnton Webern Langsamer SatzAlexander Borodin String Quartet No. 2Robert Schumann Piano Quintet in E-flat Major\, Op. 44 \n\n\n \nArtists\n\n\n \nJohn Vaida\, violinSofia Kim\, violinAmy Iwazumi\, violaZachary Mowitz\, celloBrian Farrell\, piano \nThis program is supported in part by the Northeastern Educational Intermediate Unit 19 and Pennsylvania Council on the Arts\, a state agency funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the National Endowment for the Arts\, a federal agency.

SUMMARY:Vibrant Sonorities
DESCRIPTION:A grossly underrated composer\, Josef Labor was a respected organist\, pianist\, teacher\, and composer\, who was colleagues with Johannes Brahms\, Richard Strauss\, Anton Bruckner\, Clara Schumann\, and Gustav Mahler. His piano quintet for piano\, violin\, viola\, cello\, and double bass highlights each instrument with sonorous melodies and masterfully integrates expansive harmonies. In this season-ending concert\, NEPACMS is thrilled to also present a world premiere of a piano quintet of the same instrumentation by pianist and composer Hwaen Ch’uqi. Known for his expressive and accessible works\, NEPACMS is honored and excited to bring this new work into the world! \n\n\n\n\n\n\nPROGRAM\nHwaen Ch’uqi Piano Quintet No. 2\, C-Dur\, CWV 60* \n\n\n\nJosef Labor Piano Quintet\, Op. 3 \n*World premiere \n\n\n\nARTISTS\n\n\n\nHwaen Ch’uqi\, piano  \nJohn Vaida\, violin \nAmy Iwazumi\, viola \nLisa Caravan\, cello \nJames VanDemark\, double bass \n\n\n\nThis program is supported in part by the Northeastern Educational Intermediate Unit 19 and Pennsylvania Council on the Arts\, a state agency funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the National Endowment for the Arts\, a federal agency.

SUMMARY:A Story\, A Song
DESCRIPTION:Musicologist and composer Paul Epstein once described the four movements of Haydn’s “Lark” Quartet as “a story\, a song\, a dance\, and a party\,” capturing the vivid emotions and narratives that music can evoke. This season-opening program embodies that same spirit\, with each piece reflecting profound stories and personal experiences. Golijov’s “Tenebrae” for String Quartet emerges from the composer’s encounter with contrasting realities\, blending serenity with turbulence. Meanwhile\, Brahms’ String Quartet Op. 51 No. 2 is deeply rooted in the life mottos shared between him and his close friend\, the renowned violinist Joseph Joachim\, offering an intimate glimpse into their enduring bond. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSATURDAY\, August 31\, 2024 at 7PM\n\n\n\nSt. Stephen’s Episcopal Pro-Cathedral 35 S Franklin St\, Wilkes-Barre\, PA 18701 \n\n\n\nPROGRAM\n\n\n\nJoseph Haydn: String Quartet\, Op. 64\, No. 5\, “The Lark”Osvaldo Golijov: Tenebrae for string quartetJohannes Brahms: String Quartet No. 2 in A Minor\, Op. 51\, No. 2 \n\n\n\nARTISTS\n\n\n\nJohn Vaida\, violinArthur Moeller\, violinAmy Iwazumi\, violaLisa Caravan\, cello \n\n\n\nThis program is supported in part by the Northeastern Educational Intermediate Unit 19 and Pennsylvania Council on the Arts\, a state agency funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the National Endowment for the Arts\, a federal agency.

SUMMARY:Origins
DESCRIPTION:Folk music has long been a source of inspiration and a defining identity for many composers. Brahms often wove Hungarian influences into his works\, while Ginastera celebrated his Argentinian heritage with compositions like his String Quartet No. 1\, bursting with the relentless rhythms of the malambo\, a spirited Argentine folk dance associated with gauchos. Ginastera’s student\, Piazzolla\, boldly fused classical music with the evocative sounds of tango\, sparking controversy–most notably during the premiere of his Buenos Aires Symphony in Three Movements\, where the inclusion of two bandoneons in a traditional symphony orchestra incited a riot in the audience. Continuing this tradition\, acclaimed American composer Jessie Montgomery draws on American folk idioms in Strum for string quartet\, layering rhythmic and harmonic refrains to create a deeply textured and resonant work. \n\n\n\nThursday\, January 16\, 2025 at 7:00 PM \nHayfield House at Penn State Wilkes-Barre 44 University Drive\, Dallas\, PA \n\n\n \nThe Jan. 16 Hayfield House concert will have refreshments and a raffle during intermission. \nSeating is limited\, tickets are general admission pricing and available online only. \n\n\n \nPROGRAM\n\n\n\nJessie Montgomery Strum for string quartet \nAlberto Ginastera String Quartet No. 1 \nAstor Piazzolla Cafe 1930 \nAstor Piazzolla Libertango \nJohannes Brahms Piano Quintet in F minor\, Op. 34 \n\n\n\n\n\nARTISTS\n\n\n \nJohn Vaida\, violin \nArthur Moeller\, violin \nAmy Iwazumi\, viola \nJeremy Russo\, cello \nBrian Farrell\, piano \n  \nThis program is supported in part by the Northeastern Educational Intermediate Unit 19 and Pennsylvania Council on the Arts\, a state agency funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the National Endowment for the Arts\, a federal agency.
