Christopher Cerrone New Addresses
Martin Wesley-Smith DB
Clara Schumann Three Romances Op.22
Johannes Brahms Piano Trio in B major op. 8
ENSEMBLE LIAISON are delighted to be back for their 18th season to present an exciting collaboration with triple-Grammy-award winning artist Tim Munro. Flutist with the internationally acclaimed Eighth Blackbird for ten years, Tim joins Ensemble Liaison in a program that brings emotional immediacy in Christopher Cerrone’s mesmerizing, New Addresses, inspired by the poetry of Kenneth Koch. Martin Wesley-Smiths hyperactive virtuosity comes alive with relentless rhythmic energy in a fantastical Waltz and Pat-a-cake in a tribute to Don Banks (DB). And if that isn’t enough, the complicated love story of Clara Schumann and Johannes Brahms is written all over the concluding works on the program. An outpouring of Romantic spirit of the highest order in her Three Romances and his first Piano Trio, both compositions penned around the time of their first encounter in 1853-4.
