Béla Bartók: Contrasts

Amy Beach: Piano Quintet

VIVO’s 12th season kicks off with an evening of performance and conversation, welcoming all with reserved seating tickets in advance or pay-what-you-want general admission pricing at the door. Brandon Ridenour's arrangements for trumpet, clarinet, and piano, explore the rich variety of the American songbook, while Béla Bartók's late chamber work Contrasts showcases an omnivorous compositional voice shaped in part by American jazz and popular music following his immigration to the United States during World War II. In place of a traditional intermission, VIVO Artistic Directors join the performers onstage for an engaging conversation, offering insight into the program as it unfolds, before the evening culminates in Amy Beach’s unrepentantly romantic Piano Quintet.
