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

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:...to the stars at the White Haven Area Community Library
DESCRIPTION:Three influential compositions spanning more than 150 years unite in this dynamic program of string quartets. The composers\, all known for their profound works\, were often ahead of their times\, most notably with Beethoven quipping\, “They are not for you\, but for a later age” to critics of his String Quartet Op. 59 No. 1. From old to new\, each piece transcends the time and place in which it was created and underscores the healing and transformative power of music. Doors will open at 2:00 PM for guests to enjoy beverages and hors d’oeuvres prior to the concert. Tickets are $25 available by calling the library at 570-443-8776. Seating is limited. \n\n\n\n\n\nProgram:\n\n\n\nPhilip Glass String Quartet No. 3 “Mishima” \nDmitri Shostakovich String Quartet No. 8 in C Minor\, Op. 110 \nLudwig van Beethoven String Quartet No. 7 in F Major\, Op. 59 “Razumovsky” No. 1 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArtists:\n\n\n\nJohn Vaida\, violin Arthur Moeller\, violin Amy Iwazumi\, viola Lisa Caravan\, cello

In 2009\, he\, in collaboration with five other composer-pianists\, was commissioned to produce a second book of Hexameron Variations.
