Lyrical Contrasts: Schubert, Dohnányi & More

Thursday, July 24, 6pm 

Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church

Schubert’s first String Trio opens the program with luminous lyricism, while Bartók’s Contrasts bursts with rhythmic vitality and color, shaped by his deep study of Eastern European folk music. Robert Beaser’s The Old Men Admiring Themselves in Water, inspired by the Yeats poem of the same name, offers a poignant meditation on aging and self-perception. Dohnányi’s thrilling Piano Quintet in C minor, composed when he was just 17, brings the evening to a stirring close with youthful brilliance and dramatic sweep.

Performance duration is approximately one hour and twenty minutes. There is no intermission.
