Festival Finale
Delight in Boccherini’s Quintet in C Major, an elegant and pleasing work, with seductively attractive melodies and creative “conversations” among the instruments. Allow Brahms’s Trio in E-flat Major for Horn, Violin and Piano, written following his mother’s death, to move you and thrill you as the horn conjures a galloping hunt complete with hunting horn calls, bringing the Trio to an unexpected upbeat conclusion.  Enjoy Tchaikovsky’s String Sextet in D Minor, “Souvenir de Florence,” an exuberant work written upon the composer’s return from Florence and filled with beautiful melodies, passion and lyricism.
