The Craftsbury Chamber Players perform innovative works old and new on Wednesday, July 17 at 7:30 PM at Elley-Long Music Center in Colchester.
The second concert of the Craftsbury Chamber Players' summer series begins with Mozart's quartet for oboe and strings K370/368b, one of the most important works for oboe in the chamber music literature. Next is Fantasie by Bohuslav Martinu from 1944, a commissioned work featuring the theremin, an early sound synthesizer. The instrumentation is for theremin, oboe, 2 violins, viola, cello, and piano. The first half ends with Sergei Rachmaninoff's Vocalise performed by theremin and piano.
Following intermission, the program concludes with Johannes Brahms' deeply passionate Piano Quartet no. 3 in c minor. Opus 60.
