Milwaukee Musaik Concert 4: Yes, Yes, Nonets!

Event time: 7:30pm in Schwan Hall

Program:

• Maurice Ravel: Introduction and Allegro for Harp, Flute, Clarinet and String Quartet
• Louise Farrenc: Nonet in E-flat major, Op. 38
• Johannes Brahms: Serenade No. 1 in D major, Op. 11 (reconstruction by Christopher Nex)

Clara Schumann convinced Brahms to re-orchestrate his pastoral D major Nonet Serenade to symphonic proportions. Nex’s reconstruction delights the listener through the intimacy of the intended nonet version, making it a perfect pairing to the witty and seldom heard E-flat nonet by Louise Farrenc. In displaying the full range of the double-action harp, Ravel’s “Introduction and Allegro” exploits the full expressive range of the solo harp. 

Don’t miss this great program influenced by a woman’s touch!
