FULL DESCRIPTION

Program:

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Piano Quartet No. 1 in G Minor, K.478
Andrea Casarrubios Piano Quintet (CMMB commission)
Dmitri Shostakovich Piano Quintet in G Minor, op. 57

Artistic Director and violist Luke Fleming formed Manhattan Chamber Players. This collective of players came together to share their love of chamber music. All the members have their own impressive careers – as soloists, members of professional string quartets, piano trios, or other chamber groups, and even two world-renowned composers. This group brings the flexibility to perform practically anything in the rich string/wind/piano chamber repertoire.

As a guest soloist at the Auditorio Nacional in Madrid, Ms. Casarrubios performed her Concerto for Cello and Orchestra, MIRAGE (2019). SEVEN (2020) for solo cello, “a searching, intense, and elegiac tribute to the essential workers during the pandemic” (The New York Times), was commissioned by cellist Thomas Mesa and has been performed worldwide. Ms. Casarrubios’ compositions have been presented by organizations such as the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, Carnegie Hall, Washington Performing Arts, World Heritage Festival, Sphinx Organization, Trio Appassionata, the Manhattan Chamber Players, Decoda, Ensemble Connect, Astral Artists, NPR, Canada’s CKIA, and the Spanish National Radio RNE.
