Description

SCHUBERT Sonatina No. 1 in D Major for Violin & Piano, D. 384

DEBUSSY Sonata for Violin & Piano

GEORGE CRUMB Vox balaenae (Voice of the Whale) for Three Masked Players

The first program on the Festival’s brand-new Music at Noon Wednesdays Series includes Schubert’s Sonatina No. 1, Debussy’s Violin Sonata (his last major work), and George Crumb’s Vox balaenae (Voice of the Whale) for Three Masked Players. Crumb wrote that, “by effacing a sense of human projection,” the black half-masks he asks the musicians to wear “symbolize the powerful impersonal forces of nature (nature dehumanized).”

Elizabeth Joy Roe, Jennifer Frautschi, Joseph Johnson, Tara Helen O’Connor
