SUMMARY:Bruch and Brahms • Courtney/Reschka Residence Salon Concert with Grand Reception\, Sister Bay
DESCRIPTION:When Brahms wrote his second string quintet\, he thought it was a perfect way to end his career (he later was coaxed into creating a few more by a wonderful clarinetist). It is powerful\, charming\, intense\, light-hearted\, and – especially in its Hungarian flavored finale – exuberant. When someone suggested that the famous Prater in Vienna\, a favorite amusement park of Brahms\, might have inspired the effervescent nature of this work\, Brahms replied\, “Yes\, and the delightful girls there\, too.” Bruch’s masterpiece is also a late work not published until after his death. This composer of the famous Scottish Fantasy and Violin Concerto excels once again in this deeply felt companion piece to the Brahms. A rare opportunity to hear both of these sumptuous romantic string masterpieces together. \nYou’ll find this custom manor\, which boasts an ample concert space\, tucked cozily into the woods. A porch leads to a large deck\, where you can enjoy nature in a beautiful setting. \nQuartet in D Major\, Op. 11\, No. 1 (1795) • Adalbert Gyrowetz\nFlute\, Violin\, Viola\, and Cello \nQuintet in E-flat Major (1918)\, Op. Posthumous • Max Bruch\nTwo Violins\, Two Violas\, and Cello \nQuintet No. 2 in G Major\, Op. 111 • Johannes Brahms\nTwo Violins\, Two Violas\, and Cello \n\nMusicians\nHeather Zinninger\, Flute\nDavid Perry\, Suzanne Beia & Ann Palen\, Violin\nAllyson Fleck & Catherine Lynn\, Viola\nPaula Kosower\, Cello \nSponsored by Gretchen Courtney & Ed Reschka\nSupporting Sponsor Nicolet Bank \nThe 2024 Season is sponsored by the Jean Berkenstock Family Fund and the Susan DeWitt Davie Legacy Fund.

SUMMARY:David Perry\, Jeannie Yu—Chausson Concerto! • Hope UCC\, Sturgeon Bay
DESCRIPTION:One of the most dramatic and rapturous works in the literature concludes our season. You will be swept away by Chausson’s surging and impulsive masterwork\, expertly and passionately realized by our soloists\, David Perry\, violin\, and Jeannie Yu\, piano\, framed by our string quartet including Ann Palen\, Dawn Wohn\, Sally Chisholm\, and Cole Randolph. It’s a unique work\, orchestral in concept and monumental in scope. Fellow Frenchman Théodore Dubois’s Quintet\, featuring oboist Lindsay Flowers\, sets the tone with gaiety and élan. You only have two chances to hear this program. We strongly suggest the Gala on Labor Day for all the festivities and fine food to celebrate another glorious season. \nQuintet in F Major (1905) • Théodore Dubois\nOboe\, Violin\, Viola\, Cello\, and Piano \nConcerto for Violin\, Piano\, and String Quartet\, Op. 21 • Ernest Chausson\nSolo Violin\, Solo Piano\, and String Quartet \nWrite On\, Door County poet Ed DiMaio will present a poem written inspired by music from this program. \nMusicians\nLindsay Flowers\, Oboe\nJeannie Yu\, Piano\nDavid Perry\, Ann Palen\, and Dawn Wohn\, Violin\nSally Chisholm\, Viola\nCole Randolph\, Cello \nSponsored by Sandy Zingler \nThe 2024 Season is sponsored by the Jean Berkenstock Family Fund and the Susan DeWitt Davie Legacy Fund.

SUMMARY:Romance and Rapture • Birch Creek\, Egg Harbor
DESCRIPTION:This program is inspiring\, heart-rending\, vivacious\, captivating\, and life-affirming. Sakari Vanderveer is one of the leading female black composers of our time and an inspiring leader in bringing young children to embrace playing string instruments. Mel Bonis (who used the masculine form of her name to gain acceptance) fought great odds to become one of France’s esteemed composers alongside classmates Debussy and Gabriel Pierné. Nineteenth century Hungarian icon Ernst von Dohnanyi fled the Nazis and then the communists before emigrating to the U.S. A virtuoso pianist and composer\, his Sextet is poignant and exhilarating in its cosmopolitan alure. \nObsidian\, rippled moonlight\, gleams (2019) • Sakari Dixon Vanderveer\nPiano and String Quartet \nQuartet No. 2 in D Major\, Op. 124 • Mélanie Bonis\nPiano\, Violin\, Viola\, and Cello \nSextet in C Major\, Op. 37 (1935) • Ernst von Dohnányi\nClarinet\, Horn\, Violin\, Viola\, Cello\, and Piano \nMusicians\nJJ Koh\, Clarinet\nFritz Foss\, Horn\nJeannie Yu\, Piano\nDavid Perry & Ann Palen\, Violin\nAllyson Fleck\, Viola\nCole Randolph\, Cello \nSponsored by Mary Ann & Peery Duderstadt \nThe Women’s Fund of Door County is a supporting sponsor for this program in acknowledgment of the women musicians performing. \nThe 2024 Season is sponsored by the Jean Berkenstock Family Fund and the Susan DeWitt Davie Legacy Fund.

SUMMARY:Beethoven Septet • Kress Pavilion\, Egg Harbor
DESCRIPTION:Immediately before he wrote his First Symphony\, Beethoven wrote this Septet as a prototype or practice run. He was so ready for the nine symphonies that followed that this Septet became his most popular piece during his lifetime. You could almost call it his Tenth Symphony. Thrill to the full symphonic sound of this work and the Ireland Sextet that precedes it. J.J. Koh (clarinet)\, Judith Farmer (bassoon)\, and Fritz Foss (horn) join our string section led so expertly by David Perry. John Ireland’s colorful and dramatic Sextet for Clarinet\, Horn\, and Strings\, probably inspired by the Beethoven\, is a neglected masterpiece. It’s romantic English charm and colorful and dramatic scoring will make you happy you’ve discovered it. \nSextet (1898) • John Ireland\nClarinet\, Horn\, and String Quartet \nSeptet in E-flat Major\, Op. 20 • Ludwig van Beethoven\nClarinet\, Bassoon\, Horn\, Violin\, Viola\, Cello\, and Bass \nMusicians\nJJ Koh\, Clarinet\nFritz Foss\, Horn\nJudith Farmer\, Bassoon\nDavid Perry & Ann Palen\, Violin\nSally Chisholm\, Viola\nCole Randolph\, Cello\nJeremy Attanaseo\, Bass \nSponsored by the James & Nancy Huebner Charitable Fund \nThe 2024 Season is sponsored by the Jean Berkenstock Family Fund and the Susan DeWitt Davie Legacy Fund.
