The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center in their Shaker Village residency. An eclectic program of delightful contrasts, this concert begins with Haydn’s Trio in B-flat major, a shining example of Classical grace and wit. Its lively melodies and balanced structure set the stage for Beethoven’s “Kakadu” Variations, where a simple theme is transformed into a playful and virtuosic exploration of contrasting moods. Contemporary composer David Ludwig’s Swan Song offers a modern, poignant reflection, while Frolov’s Concert Fantasy on Themes from Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess infuses the program with a vibrant mix of classical and jazz influences, bringing Gershwin’s beloved melodies to the stage with captivating flair.
