McIntire Chamber Music Series Features "Spooky" Russian Music 
October 27, 2000 -- The McIntire Chamber Music Series continues on Sunday, Oct. 29, 3:30 p.m. in Old Cabell Hall with The Albemarle Ensemble and the Rivanna Quartet. The Quartet will perform the famous Russian chamber piece, Quartet No. 2 y Dmitri Shostakovich. An intense work, it suggests the spooky Halloween spirit, with its chromatic and diabolical Waltz, sometimes thought of as a dance of death. Members include Katherine Winterstein and Susan Black, violinists, Richard Baritaud, viola, and Paige Riggs, cello. Guest artist, pianist Mimi Tung will join ensemble members, Susan Black, violin, and Nancy Garlick, clarinet, for the colorful Russian Trio for clarinet, violin & piano by Aram Khatchaturian. Full of sounds from eastern Europe, including rural folk music and highly rhythmic dance tunes, the ornamented work demonstrates the sparkling virtuosity of the three musicians. The Albemarle Ensemble will open the program with Woodwind Quintet by Georges Onslow. New oboist, Nicole Golay, originally from California, will make her debut with the quintet, joining Margaret Newcomb, flute, Nancy Garlick, clarinet, Valentin Martchev, bassoon and Dwight Purvis, horn. Mostly forgotten today, the French composer was highly regarded in his own day by the likes of Robert Schumann, who claimed that Onslow should be included in the ranks of composers like Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. Tickets are $10 for the General Public, $5 for students, 5ARTS$ for U.Va. students, and free for high school students. Tickets may be purchased at the door or by calling 924-3984. |
