Program notes
Join the illustrious Järvi family in Pärnu, Estonia for a festival brimming with talent and enthusiasm—according to newspaper Die Welt, "these are simply musicians having the time of their lives." Experience that joyful energy at home through four exceptional concerts blending iconic masterworks from the classical repertoire and less frequently played gems.
This third concert in the series gives chamber music center stage in the capable hands of pianist Zee Zee, violinists Sha Katsouris and Artur Podlesniy, violist Andres Kaljuste, and cellists Marcel Johannes Kits and Benjamin Nyffenegger. The program features a pair of little-known but exceptional pieces composed in the first decade of the twentieth century: Rachmaninov's Sonata for Cello and Piano in G Minor and American composer Amy Beach's Piano Quintet in F-sharp minor.
