A rich array of chamber music deliciousness! Our first course is Shai Wosner’s imaginative interweaving of charming small-scale works that somehow combine to create a stunning sound world. For an entrée, the juicy, exuberant blossoming of young love in the form of a violin sonata, written when Strauss met the young soprano he would later marry. Finally, the sweet, sumptuous sophistication of an enthralling piano quintet by Amy Beach, one of America’s cultural pioneers.
