Chamber Concert 1: Hummel, Françaix & Beethoven

This program celebrates the quintet in all of its forms. Pianist Stewart Goodyear joins forces with a string quartet for Hummel’s piano quintet; a string trio joins harp and flute for Francaix’s quintet; and we close with Beethoven’s only piece originally conceived for a string quintet. Also on the program is a rhythmic and lyrical duet for violin and soprano by Villa-Lobos.
