From Antiquity to Modernity takes audiences on a journey from the icons of classical music to their modern counterparts. Curated by Berginald Rash, the series takes a playful and joyous approach – juxtaposing the old and the new, the canonical and well-known to and recently reappraised and celebrated. 

We turn to the quintet, this combination of clarinet, violin, viola, cello, and piano will expand and contract as the repertoire allows. From trios like Libby Larsen’s Black Birds, Red Hills, a musical reimagining of Georgia O’Keefe’s paintings, Lowell Liebermann’s cinematic Trio No. 1, Op. 32 for violin, cello and piano, to Schumann’s seminal chamber work Fantasiestücke, Op. 73 that can be performed by either clarinet or cello and Hannah Kendall’s clarinet quartet, Vera. This concert is one of nostalgia and dreams culminating in Faure’s sublimely decadent Piano Quartet No. 1 in C minor, Op. 15.
