Sublime Laments: Hummel/Watkins/Brahms

Sunday, August 10, 6pm 

Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church

This program traces a path from Classical brilliance to Romantic turmoil. Hummel’s elegant Septet dazzles with its vibrant textures and playful interplay, while Huw Watkins’s Lament explores both the tender and enraging sides of loss. The evening culminates in Brahms’s stormy “Werther” Piano Quartet —a work infused with the emotional intensity of Goethe’s The Sorrows of Young Werther, where passion, restraint, and longing collide.

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