Our “minis” are always masterful, and this year is no different as we spotlight the keyboards, including harpsichord and organ. Centered around a dramatic J.S. Bach concerto as well as two magical pieces from a Indian-American composer showcasing the St. John’s Chapel organ, the afternoon features three soloists – Angie Zhang (harpsichord and organ), Dennis Carter II (flute) and Yuri Popowycz (violin).

Aaron Copland’s heartfelt portrayal of a day in the life of a newly married pioneer couple lies at the heart of a program bursting with lush lyricism. The Pulitzer Prize-winning score to Martha Graham’s ballet Appalachian Spring will be heard in its original 13-instrument version. New SMF faculty oboist Marion Kuszyk, Associate Principal Oboe of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, joins faculty hornist Michelle Reed Baker and six fellows in Mozart’s delightfully contrasting serenade for wind octet. The program concludes with one of the crown jewels of the chamber music repertoire—Brahms’ Piano Quintet in F Minor. The Attacca Quartet and SMF Music Director Jeffrey Kahane collaborate on this passionate work.
