By: Lauren Herrin Orion String Quartet and Windscape Saturday, February 12, 2011, 8:00 PM Seligman Performing Arts Center Located on the campus of Detroit Country Day School 22305 West 13 Mile Road, Beverly Hills -Artist Bios- For the Orion String Quartet’s bio, please see: http://www.orionquartet.com/ http://www.kirshdem.com/ For Windscape’s bio, please see: http://www.franksalomon.com/ -Repertoire- Bach: The Art of Fugue, BWV 1080 Arranged for string quartet and wind quintet by Samuel Baron -Sponsor- Co-sponsored by Fifth Third Bank -Unique Features of this Concert- • This concert marks the debut appearance of Windscape, a quintet formed in 1994 by five eminent woodwind soloists, on the Chamber Music Society of Detroit series. • This concert marks the premiere performance of Bach’s complete The Art of Fugue on the Chamber Music Society of Detroit series. The performance is notable in several ways: o The manuscript of Bach’s The Art of Fugue does not specify a particular instrumentation, and over the years the work has been performed by a variety of instrumental combinations. The unique arrangement being performed at this concert for string quartet and wind quintet was made in the early 1960’s by Samuel Baron (1925-1997), founding flutist of the New York Woodwind Quintet and artistic director of the Bach Aria Group. o Like many of Bach’s later masterworks, The Art of Fugue stands as an exploration in depth of fugal techniques and structure; Bach’s genius is seen in the extraordinary wealth of invention he applies as he takes a single theme and uses it as the thematic and architectural basis for a concert-length work. o Because of its scope and because Bach worked on the piece during the last months of his life, it is often regarded as a summing-up of his life’s work. • Pre-Concert Dinner: Bacco Ristorante, with special reduced dinner price for CMSD ticket-holders, 6:00 – 7:15 PM -Special Features of Seligman Performing Arts Center- • Free Parking • Easy Accessibility • Intimate Chamber Music Venue (seats 724) • Excellent acoustics; Kirkegaard Associates, acoustician -Special Offering by the Chamber Music Society of Detroit- • Society Café open before the concerts and during intermission with support from Sweet Lorraine’s and Cadillac Coffee -Upcoming Concerts: Chamber Music Society of Detroit 2010-2011 Season- Saturday, March 26, 2011 Zuill Bailey, Cello Piers Lane, Piano Mendelssohn: Schumann: Fantasiestü Roberto Sierra: Suite de canciones y danzas Rachmaninoff: Pre-Concert Talk with Zuill Bailey, 6:45 – 7:30 PM Saturday, April 2, 2011 Nash Ensemble of London Mozart: Piano Quartet No. 1 in G minor, K. 478 Bax: Oboe Quintet Britten: Phantasy Quartet for Oboe and String Trio, Op. 2 Schumann: Piano Quintet in E-flat major, Op. 44 Pre-Concert Talk with Steven Rings, 6:45 – 7:30 PM Saturday, April 16, 2011 Jorge Federico Osorio, Piano Beethoven: Variations in F major, Op. 34 Beethoven: Piano Sonata No. 30 in E major, Op. 109 Franck: Prelude, Chorale and Fugue Granados: Spanish Dances, Nos. 1, 2 & 5 Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition Saturday, May 21, 2011 Morgenstern Trio The Kalichstein- Beethoven: Piano Trio in C minor, Op. 1, No. 3 Ravel: Piano Trio in A minor Brahms: Piano Trio No. 3 in C minor, Op. 101 Pre-Concert Talk with Steven Rings, 6:45 – 7:30 PM -Ticket Purchase Information- • Single tickets to all concerts: $43 - $75; students $25. • By phone: Chamber Music Society of Detroit Ticket Service: 248-855-6070 • Online: HOUR Detroit and dbusiness are the media sponsors for the 2010-2011 season.
