Georgian Chamber Players in Concert

"Austro-Hungarian Flavor"

Sunday, April 14, 2013, 3:00 p.m.
Trinity Presbyterian Church











I really like the 'immersion' aspect of this ensemble's programming and the wonderful surprises it inspires.  For this concert the group has chosen to perform the works of two Early Romantics:   Schubert Impromtu, D.935 No.3 and Rondeau Brilliant, D. 895 ...and Beethoven “Ghost” Piano Trio, Op. 70, No. 1. The program will also include the distinctly Romantic flavor of Hungarian composer Erno Doynanyi Serenade, Op. 10.  Doynanyi flourished in the early 20th c (along with Bartok, his classmate at the Budapest Academy of Music) but his music -- unlike Bartok's -- is more influenced by European classical tradition. Interestingly, Doynanyi taught in the US for ten years and died in 1960, an American citizen.  

I found Doynanyi's Piano Quintet No.1 on YouTube  for you to listen to while you are marking your calendar for the Georgian Chamber Players concert:  April 14, Trinity Presbyterian Church, 3:00 p.m..
