Spring into Chamber Music at the Cathedral with an optimistic program of chamber music for flute, strings and piano. An energetic pastoral theme ties together a series of works from the Baroque to the 21st century. Starting with a bouncy Italian baroque trio by Giordani, we move to a set of neo-classical miniature dances by Shostakovich. At the centrepiece of the program are four Slavonic Dances by Dvorak: a Sousedská, a Furiant, a Starodávný and a Kolo, in their original sonorous format of piano 4-hands. A virtuosic trio by Edgar Girtain continues the dance theme in quintessential American style. The concert ends with Haydn's "Gypsy" Piano Trio, so-named because its beautiful early movements are followed by a mad-cap finale incorporating a series of rustic Hungarian dances. A highlight of the concert is our cellist's own composition, "Wind in the Pines".
