Created with Wigmore Hall’s Director, John Gilhooly, the chamber ensemble comprises a roster of outstanding musicians led by Michael Collins and Isabelle van Keulen. Here it takes up the cause of the neglected Anglo-French George Onslow, alongside the German Louis Spohr (1784-1859) and the Italian double bass virtuoso Giovanni Bottesini (1821-89).

University of Arizona

David Bruce, a modern-day Master, has ingeniously crafted compositions that embody the essence of a Victorian-inspired, steam-powered universe. With an ingenious fusion of classical sophistication and avant-garde ingenuity, Bruce’s works capture the very essence of this alternate reality. Be prepared to be swept away by the haunting melodies, pulsating rhythms, and breathtaking orchestrations that are guaranteed to leave you awe-inspired. In the Nonet No. 2, Bohuslav Martinů’s vivid imagination takes flight, guiding you through a soundscape that pulsates with the energy of progress. Compositions by Louis Spohr, like the turning gears of a steam engine, exude a sense of purpose and urgency that captivates the listener from start to finish

The three most familiar members of the chamber music family—winds, strings, and piano—join forces for a program rich in sonorities and cultural variety. Bohuslav Martinů, who inherited the mantle of Dvořák to become the most famous Czech composer of his day, left a huge catalog of chamber music. The Austrian Ludwig Thuille excelled in opera but his chamber music is now making a well-deserved comeback. And Germany’s Ludwig Spohr, one of his era’s greatest violinists, composed prolifically and skillfully for all combinations of chamber ensembles, the nonet is among his finest compositions.
