Program

• Darius Milhaud, La création du monde – Suite de concert pour piano et quatour à cordes, Op. 81b

• George Rochberg, Between Two Worlds (Ukiyo-e III) for flute & piano

• Pavel Haas, Wind Quintet, Op. 10

• Alban Berg, Adagio from Kammerkonzert for violin, clarinet & piano

• Erich Korngold, Suite for two violins, cello & piano left-hand, Op. 23

Korngold straddles the line between golden lyricism and unbridled bravado with a rare late Romantic treasure, and Haas mingles Czech folk songs with fanciful dances and prayerful synagogue music. Milhaud offers a joy-filled homage to the Jazz Age, and Rochberg paints a shimmering portrait of the floating world…between then and there, here and now…
