Chopin: Sonata in G Minor, Op. 65 for Cello and Piano
Mendelssohn: Piano Trio in D Minor
SCCS plays tribute to the “birthday boys and girls” who turn 100 and 200 this

their respective styles to the sonata genre, while and the "boy genius"

Schubert: Songs
Schönberg: Cabaret Songs
Brahms: Two Songs for Voice, Viola and Piano, Op. 91
Schubert: “Trout” Quintet
Schubert’s ever popular “Trout” quintet borrowed its famous
melody from his song by the same name, “Die Forelle.” Join the Second City
Chamber Series as we contrast both versions of this famous melody, along with
two songs written by Johannes Brahms for his friends Joseph and Amalie Joachim.

Melissa Plagemann, mezzo-soprano; Maria Sampen, violin; Tim Christie, viola;

Urban Legends
Program III: Friday, April 9,
2010; 7:30 pm
Stravinsky: “Suite Italienne” for Violin
and Piano
Schoenfield: Café Music
Piazzolla: The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires
Artistic Director Svend Rønning and
friends perform a concert featuring “urban legends” of the world depicted in
music. The Commedia dell’arte character of Pulcinella inspired Stravinsky to
compose his famous ballet, transcribed here for violin and piano by the
composer. Israeli/American composer Paul Schoenfield gives us a glimpse of the
street musicians of Vienna, and Argentine tango composer Astor Piazzolla takes
us on a meteorological journey of his home city of Buenos Aires...inspired by
Vivaldi, of course!
Artists: Svend Rønning, violin; Richard
Treat, cello; Jairo Geronymo, piano
Let's Party
Program IV: Friday, May 14,
2010; 7:30 pm
Haydn: “London” Trios
Bolling: Suite for Violin and Jazz Piano
Bolling: Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano
Classical and Jazz genres combine in this
concert of “divertimenti”—that is, music designed for an evening of delightful
entertainment! So many of Haydn’s chamber works were designed as “an evening’s
entertainment” for his various patrons, and French jazz pianist Claude Bolling
gives us a similarly delightful “divertimenti” from a 20th century genre—hot
jazz.
Artists: Mary Jensen, flute; Gwendolyn
Taylor, violin; David Joyner, piano;
Mark Ivister, Drum Set; Anna Jensen, Bass
