at Menlo-Atherton Center for the Performing Arts
(see times)
Music@Menlo’s 2014–2015 Winter Series begins with a program tracing the Classical tradition into the twentieth century. After the program begins with Mozart, the composer under whose pen the Classical style fully crystallized, violinist Kristin Lee and pianist Gloria Chien offer the fiery Kreutzer Sonata of Beethoven, the torchbearer of Viennese Classicism at the dawn of a new era. Though composed more than a century later, Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s cinematic Piano Quintet harkens back to the tradition of Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven, appropriating the most cherished qualities of their music—its formal elegance, melodic beauty, and effortless charm—for listeners of modern times.
