Program

• Erik Satie, Choses vues à droite et à gauche (sans lunettes) for violin & piano

• Michael Stephen Brown, The Lotos-Eaters for flute, cello, piano & percussion

• Ralph Vaughan Williams, Phantasy Quintet

• Reena Esmail, Jhula Jhule (Back and Forth) for clarinet & piano

• Maurice Ravel, Piano Trio in a minor

Vaughan Williams enthralls with a vivid, impressionist daydream of the English countryside, and Reena Esmail weaves a tapestry of sound and memory from her ancestral home. Michael Stephen Brown brings Tennyson’s mariners and their psychedelic voyage to life, while Ravel the illusionist challenges our perceptions with a dazzling tour de force of color and texture. We close our 28th season with a phantastic trip down the rabbit-hole where up is down, black is white, and left is right (with…or without glasses).
