Orchestre Métropolitain musicians come together to perform a work written by one of their own, French horn player Simon Bourget. His sextet for piano and wind quintet will be followed by two major pieces for piano and winds from the repertoire: the charming and elegant sextet by Francis Poulenc and a sextet written by his lesser-known predecessor, Austrian Ludwig Thuille.

Winds of the Orchestre Métropolitain

Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal

Two lush, 19th-century sextets—one for strings by Brahms and one for piano and winds by Thuille—feature on this program, which opens with Moszkowski’s spirited, early-20th-century Suite in G Minor for Two Violins and Piano.

Brahms & Thuille Sextets

Lensic Performing Arts Center

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.

Winds of Change

Lincoln Center

This concert follows the previous day’s screening of Martin Goldsmith’s deeply moving film Winter Journey. It includes works by composers who were silenced as victims of the Holocaust, as well as works performed by the Jüdischer Kulturbund.
