Williams Chamber Players: Messiaen Centennial - August 21, 2008
WILLIAMSTOWN - The Williams Chamber Players will perform a concert on Saturday, Sept. 6, at 8 p.m. in Brooks-Rogers Recital Hall on the Williams College campus. This free event is open to the public.
Many of the department’s Fall concerts celebrate Oliver Messiaen as this is the 100th anniversary of his birth. Our first concert of the season fittingly starts off the festivities. Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time was written while he was held captive in Stalag 8-A and was performed for the first time in 1941 with fellow prisoners of war, Jean Boulaire, Henri Akoka, and Etienne Pasquier. The Chamber Players will revive this wonderful piece of music featuring Joanna Kurkowicz, violin; Susan Martula, clarinet; Nathaniel Parke, cello, and Doris Stevenson, piano.
Also on the program is the chamber music masterpiece C Minor Piano Trio, opus 101 by Johannes Brahms with Elizabeth Wright on the piano.
The Williams Chamber Players is a resident chamber ensemble, founded at Williams College in 1999. It's purpose is to present concerts for the college and community throughout the academic year. Antecedents of the Williams Chamber Players are The Williams Trio, founded in 1970, and the Group for 20th Century Music, founded in 1989. Repertoire for concerts is drawn from the standard chamber music repertoire with special attention to music of the 20th and 21st centuries, and to music by Williams composers. Musicians are normally drawn from the ranks of Artists-in-Residence, Studio Instructors, and other faculty, as well as occasional visiting artists. |
