Program I:
Great Explorations

Thursday, August 13  |  7:00 PM

Stevens Square Theater | Portland

Explore three centuries of chamber music in one unforgettable evening. Bach's monumental Chaconne for solo violin is a tour de force — an entire universe of emotion contained in a single movement. Charles Loeffler's hauntingly beautiful Deux Rhapsodies follows, reimagined with soprano saxophone in place of oboe, giving a velvety texture to its impressionistic shadows. This glorious opening night program culminates in a masterful piano quartet by Johannes Brahms — turbulent, tender, and utterly transcendent.

PROGRAM

J.S. Bach Chaconne from Partita for Violin No. 2

Charles Loeffler Deux Rhapsodies

Johannes Brahms Piano Quartet No. 1 in G Minor, Op. 25
