On Tuesday October 5 at 7:30 pm Washington Musica Viva will present
another great chamber music program at The Dennis & Phillip Ratner Museum,
10001 Old Georgetown Rd, Bethesda MD 20814.  (The Ratner Museum is just
outside of the Beltway, at the corner of Old Georgetown Rd and Lone Oak
Drive).  Free parking is available in the museum lot and on Lone Oak Dr.

Performing are:
Sally McLain and June Huang, violins, Kimberly Buschek, viola, Jodi
Beder, cello, Gary Poster, bass voice, and Carl Banner, piano. (The
strings are the same wonderful quartet who performed on EVOLUTIONS at
St. Columba's last season).

Program:

Gabriel Faure's Piano Quintet #1 in D Minor Op. 89, perhaps the
most perfectly ethereal and heavenly masterpiece ever written for
this instrumental combination (and the inspiration for artist Marilyn
Banner's "Ladders of Light"!).

Johannes Brahms' hot-blooded Piano Quartet #1 in G minor Op. 25 (passionate
anthems, a stormy scherzo, and a Gypsy Finale).

Stephen Paulus' "The Long Shadow of Lincoln" (on Civil War poems of Carl
Sandburg), a reflective and grateful work on patriotism, war's aftermath,
and hopes for the future, which could not be more timely.

Aaron Copland's only Piano Quartet, a masterfully comic and tragic work
that reflects Copland's Lithuanian Jewish background.

This will not be your everyday chamber music program!
Tickets may be purchased for $15 in advance; send a check to Washington
Musica Viva, 9925 Dickens Avenue, Bethesda MD 20814.  Or tickets may be
purchased for $18 at the door.
