Chamber concert music highlights strings, winds The Linton tradition of featuring the fine musicians of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra continues with a program of Mozart, Barber and Brahms. Upcoming concerts Sunday, Oct. 11, and Monday, Oct. 12, feature Mozart’s famous string work, “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik� and Barber’s woodwind quintet “Summer Music.� Then strings and winds combine forces to perform a special chamber music ensemble version of Brahms “Serenade No. 1.� CSO principals Owen Lee, bass; Randy Bowman, flute; Dwight Parry, oboe; Richie Hawley, clarinet; William Winstead, bassoon and Elizabeth Freimuth, horn, join violinists Jaime Laredo and Celeste Golden, violist Ida Kavafian and cellist Sharon Robinson for this outstanding session of “Music Making Among Friends.�
Upcoming concerts feature Mozart’s famous string work, “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik� and Barber’s woodwind quintet “Summer Music.� “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik,� so familiar to even a casual acquaintance of classical music, is one of those pieces that is so immediately accessible to the listener, so congenial to the musician, that all are unaware of anything but the purest enjoyment of music and music-making. Barber’s Summer Music, his only composition exclusively for wind instruments, evokes the carefree, relaxed atmosphere of summer, the music rooted in lateRomanticism with clearly defined harmonies and structural forms.
Like Mozart’s “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik,� Brahms “Serenade No. 1� is usually heard in an orchestral edition. At these Linton concerts we have the rare opportunity to hear both pieces in their chamber format. The Linton Chamber Music Series Sunday performances are at 4 p.m. at the First Unitarian Church, 536 Linton Street in Corryville. Monday evening Encore! Linton performances are at 7:30 p.m. at Congregation Beth Adam, 10001 Loveland-Madeira Road in Loveland. Individual tickets or prorated season tickets for the remainder of either the Sunday Linton Chamber Music Series or the Monday Encore! Linton Series may be reserved by calling 3816868.
