2015 ArtistsDear Friends,Welcome to the 32nd Bridgehampton Chamber Music Festival. For us as an organization, it is a time of growth and development. We participated in a cruise tour last October and added our first ever Spring Series to our offerings this year. We’ve had a truly wonderful response, and thank you for your ongoing devotion to the festival.

This year’s summer festival brims with some of the greatest chamber music ever written, but that’s only part of the story. For example, Brahms’ and Schumann’s beloved piano quintets, which appear on this year’s program were both influenced by the same woman, Clara Schumann. Robert Schumann's quintet was dedicated to his beloved wife, while one might argue that the final spasms of Brahms' unrequited love for Clara can be heard in his. Stories abound, including that of Schubert’s “Trout” Quintet – a work the composer may never have heard performed and whose manuscript was lost. In our final concert, we celebrate what would have been Jean Sibelius’ 150th Birthday, presenting the all too rarely heard Sonatina, his only mature work for violin and piano.

We also have new stories to tell: we’ll present the world premiere of a piece by Kevin Puts inspired by the life of Robin Williams, and the Northeast premiere of a powerful work by Arab-American composer Mohammed Fairouz commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Civil War and 50th Anniversary of the Selma to Montgomery Voter Rights Marches of 1965.

We hope that you, too, will create new stories of your own of friends gathering together to share the ephemeral, the spirit and majesty of timeless music in beautiful surroundings. We are constantly amazed by the truly magical musicians who join us each summer to share their artistic passion with you, our beloved audience.

I look forward to seeing you at the concerts.

With warm regards,

Marya Martin

Founder and Artistic Director

Bach & MendelssohnSunday, August 2, 6:30 pm Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church

Three masters display their virtuosic grandeur in a program that beams with energy. While World War II was raging, émigré Bohoslav Martinu was in the glorious surroundings of Tanglewood in Massachusetts, composing his bright and lively trio. Mozart’s Duo exemplifies virtuosic elegance, while Beethoven’s “Archduke” trio captures the composer in all his heroic glory.

Martinu Trio for Piano, Flute, and Cello, H. 300 (1944)

Mozart Duo in G major for Violin and Viola, K. 423 (1783)

Beethoven Piano Trio in B-flat major, Op. 97 “Archduke” (1811)

Marya Martin, fluteAni Kavafian, violinEttore Causa, viola

Clive Greensmith, celloOrion Weiss, piano

Week 2

Mendelssohn was not only deeply influenced by Bach but also may have saved him from obscurity by championing his works through public performance. Bach’s orchestral suites and works for keyboard are now legendary. Mendelssohn’s writing for strings as showcased in the brilliant Octet and Capriccio and Fugue for String Quartet place him next to Bach at the pinnacle of chamber music.

Bach Orchestral Suite No. 2 in B minor, BWV 1067 (ca. 1738-39)

Bach Harpsichord Concerto in D major, BWV 1054 (ca. 1738)

Mendelssohn Capriccio and Fugue for String Quartet, Op. 81, No. 3 and 4 (1843, 1827)

Precise Passion Sunday, August 9, 6:30 pm Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church

We begin with a triumphant work for winds and piano Mozart himself called “the best work I have ever written,” move through Daniel Godfrey’s beguiling work about a “wrinkled moon” and Kevin Puts' reflection on Robin Williams’ impish brilliance, before culminating in Brahms’ love-tormented masterpiece. Mozart Quintet in E-flat major for Piano and Winds, K. 452 (1784)

Godfrey Luna Rugosa for Flute, Clarinet, Cello, and Piano (2005)

Puts Rounds for Robin for Flute and Piano (World Premiere) (2015)

Week 3

Deep Rivers Monday, August 10, 6:30 pm Pre-Concert Conversation with Composer Mohammed Fairouz, 5:45 pm Lichtenstein Theater, Parrish Art Museum

The incredible mix of cultures that defines the American “Experiment” also created entirely new music. Spirituals, Gershwin’s popular Preludes, Aaron Copland’s wry take on the American Songbook, Bernstein’s jazzy sonata, as well as a Northeast premiere of a poignant work reflecting on the 50th Anniversary of the Selma to Montgomery Voting Rights marches, all come together in a one-hour program that explores history through sound, expressing the brash originality and unique story of America. Arrive early and explore the Parrish Art Museum, attend a pre-concert conversation with composer Mohammed Fairouz, then enjoy a glass of wine with the concert.

Schubert’s “Trout” Sunday, August 16, 6:30 pm Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church

Among the most beloved of chamber works in the literature, Schubert’s “Trout” Quintet stands out for its endless beauty, heartfelt melodies, and sheer joy. Beethoven’s ebullient trio and Jalbert’s viscerally powerful Visual Abstract together create the perfect complement to Schubert’s masterpiece.

Beethoven Trio for Clarinet, Cello, and Piano, Op. 11 (1797)

Jalbert Visual Abstract for Flute, Clarinet, Violin, Cello, Piano, and Percussion (2002)

Schubert Quintet in A major for Violin, Viola, Cello, Bass, and Piano, D. 667, “Trout” (1827)

Wm. Brian Little Concert Roger Waters in A Soldier’s TaleFriday, August 14

6:00 pm: Wine tasting and appetizers 6:45 pm: Concert Channing Sculpture Garden

Combine Stravinsky’s witty and acerbic brilliance, Roger Waters’ linguistic mastery, a story as old as good and evil, and what have you got? An evening not to be missed. Arguably the 20th century’s greatest composer, Stravinsky wrote The Soldier’s Tale as the catastrophe of WWI was coming to a close, while Roger Waters’ updated text speaks to today’s audiences. Scrumptious food and wine from the Channing Daughters Winery provide the perfect complement for a concert under the stars. This concert is dedicated to the memory of Walter Channing.

Saturday Soiree An Evening of Solo BachSaturday, August 22, 6:30 pm Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church

No composer better expressed the human soul than Bach, and no more so than in his works for solo instruments. From the glorious joy of the Toccata in D major, to the introspective musings of the D minor Suite for solo cello, to the awe-inspiring B minor violin partita, there is nothing like Bach’s music to speak directly to the heart.

Bach Toccata in D major for Solo Piano, BWV 912 (ca. 1708) Suite in D minor for Solo Viola, BWV 1008 (ca. 1720) Partita in B minor for Solo Violin, BWV 1002 (ca. 1720)

Innocence Lost Wednesday, August 19, 7:00 pm Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church

Take an emotional journey that begins in the innocence and joy of Boccherini’s sparkling Flute Quintet, moves through Schoenfield’s nostalgically jazz-inflected Café Music, and ends with the passionate musical drama that is Brahms’ Piano Quintet.

A Starry NightSunday, August 23, 6:30 pm Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church

“I’ve been dreaming about being twelve years old and a virtuoso. The sky of my childhood and stars. Lots of stars.” –Jean Sibelius, Dec. 14, 1915

We close the 2015 Festival with a program that will light up the night sky – Haydn’s playful Trio in C opens the program, while we celebrate Sibelius’ 150th birthday with his brightly shining Sonatina, based on happy childhood memories. The second half begins with Philippe Hersant’s evocative Héliades, and we end the season with Schumann’s love letter to his wife, the heavenly piano quintet.

Haydn Piano Trio in C major, Hob XV:27 (1795-1796)

Sibelius Sonatina for Violin and Piano in E major, Op. 80 (1915)

Hersant Héliades for Flute and String Trio (2007)
