The exceptional young instrumentalists of the Kronberg Academy perform with one of the academy’s renowned professors: violist Tabea Zimmermann, recently appointed chair of the Hindemith Foundation. Brahms’s Clarinet Trio, here performed by viola, piano, and cello, is one of the composer’s transcendent final works and a mainstay of the chamber music repertoire. Hindemith was a gifted violist as well as a highly innovative composer, and his fourth string quartet—a work of great contrasts—is arguably his most popular (though still a rare treat in concert). Korngold’s Piano Quintet is a lavish and idiosyncratic early work, composed at the height of his popularity in Germany.

Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Shulamit Ran was in residence at Marlboro Music in 2018 and worked extensively on her music with these musicians in Vermont. Alternating between contemplation and ecstasy, Ran’s Moon Songs for soprano, flute, cello, and piano are at the center of this program, which includes Mozart’s Divertimento, a singular work that achieves “something special in the way of art, invention, and good spirits.”
