Music’s evocative storytelling powers take center stage in a program of intimate works with big impact. Stunningly gifted violinist Melissa White evokes the cuckoo’s voice, a sleeping goatherd, and the roaring and thundering of hail in “Summer” from Vivaldi’s beloved Four Seasons. Czech composer Leoš Janáček’s sextet Mládí (Youth), written late in his life, offers a nostalgic reimagining of themes from his past. Gabriela Lena Frank pays a vicarious visit to her mother’s native Peru in her picturesque Four Folk Songs. Antonín Dvořák, influenced by his encounters with Native American and Black musical traditions, poured out his affection for America in his enchanting and richly melodious Viola Quintet (American).

Bienen faculty member and violinist Jinjoo Cho is joined by Bienen students and guest artists to perform a chamber recital devoted to the music of Nikolai Medtner and his contemporaries. Program highlights include Medtner's Violin Sonata No. 2 in G Major, Op. 44 (“Spring Sonata”), with late-Romantic textures recalling Russia in spring; Rachmaninoff’s Trio élégiaque No. 1 in G Minor, influenced by Tchaikovsky; and Medtner’s Piano Quintet in C Major, the composer’s final work and the pinnacle of his achievement.
