Concert 5 - Mighty Mahler in Miniature

Natalie Klouda – Piano Quintet;
Beethoven – String Trio in G major, Op. 9 No. 1;
Mahler – Symphony No. 4, in G major, arranged for chamber ensemble.

Although we have done chamber music reductions before in the Festival, notably last year’s Mozart piano concerto, a chamber version of Mahler’s Fourth Symphony must be our biggest and most ambitious condensation to date! To warm us up for the big event, we have a contemporary piece by Natalie Klouda and our final great classical music “B”, Beethoven’s early string trio.
