SUMMARY:BCMS at the Leo (Soundscapes)
DESCRIPTION:The lush soundscapes of this concert will sweep you away onto an unexpected journey. Each piece features unusual\, but glorious instrument combinations starting with Debussy’s  “Sonata for flute\, viola and harp”. Debussy once remarked that he didn’t recognize the writing and felt that it was reflective of his younger self. Meyerbeer’s “Quintet No. 3 in Eb for Clarinet and strings is an equally intense soundscape featuring clarinet and strings in a deeply heartfelt and virtuosic display. The final soundscape will be Mendelssohn’s iconic “Octet in Eb” which was written when he was only 16 years old and shows off his youthful verve.

SUMMARY:BCMS at the Hotel Leo (Radiance)
DESCRIPTION:This concert will touch your soul and make your hair stand on end. It begins with Carl Nielsen’s “Serenata in Vano” a beautiful\, but short divertissement. Jessie Montgomery’s “Strum” will divert us into dancing along with her percussive pizzicati and long melodies while Caroline Shaw will take us on an Alice in Wonderland style journey with her “Entracte” written with influences of Haydn’s Op. 77 No. 2 string quartet. The concert will end with Franz Berwald’s “Grand Septet” that brings together a glorious blend of winds and strings in a work that rivals Beethoven’s iconic Septet for the same instrumentation.

Piazzolla revolutionized the traditional tango and Schubert revolutionized the depth of expression the human human voice could reveal through song as he bridged the classical and romantic eras of western music.  Piazzola’s every popular Oblivion and Libertango will get your toes tapping only to be calmed by Schubert’s subtle an engaging “Arpeggione”. The concert will end with Schubert’s “Octet”\, a tour de force work for winds and strings that has often been hailed as the greatest work in classical chamber music.  \n  \nOur signature cocktail for this concert will be the Schubert Sangria.
