Spirituals in Motion

Bud Werner Memorial Library

Discover the expressive beauty of the horn in this intimate chamber concert featuring two remarkable works by Johannes Brahms and Dame Ethel Smyth. Audiences will experience Brahms’ beloved Horn Trio, a cornerstone of the chamber music repertoire, alongside a rare chamber transcription of Smyth’s Concerto for Violin, Horn, and Orchestra. Together, these works explore themes of nature, nostalgia, and personal expression while offering contrasting perspectives from two distinctive compositional voices.

Along the way, musicians will share insights into the natural horn tradition that inspired Brahms’ writing and introduce audiences to Smyth’s groundbreaking legacy as both a composer and a leader in the women’s suffrage movement. Through engaging commentary and storytelling, listeners will gain a deeper appreciation for the music, the artists behind it, and the historical contexts that shaped these works.

Perfect for both seasoned concertgoers and those new to classical music, this welcoming Up Close performance combines exceptional chamber music with fascinating history, creating meaningful connections between performers, audiences, and the enduring power of artistic expression.
