The Cayuga Chamber Orchestra has announced the launch of its Chamber Series on Sunday, Feb.
26, as part of their 47th season.
The performance will include pieces by Beethoven and Brahms, a program featuring Concertmaster Christina Bouey, Principal Cellist Rosemary Elliott, violinist Anthony Bracewell and guest artist, pianist Vadim Serebryany. The program will feature Beethoven’s lush and lyrically expansive String Trio in E-flat
and Brahms’ majestic and emotionally turbulent Piano Quartet No. 3.
It is a privilege to be preparing the Brahms Piano Quartet for a performance with
beloved colleagues and friends, Tina, Anthony and Vadim. The slow movement is
a true gem. From the dark, brooding landscape of c minor Brahms transports us
to e major and a world of serenity and beauty. As I prepare to perform this
miraculous movement (which starts with a cello solo!) I am reminded of all that
is good in life, even amidst the suffering of so many in the world.Principal Cellist Rosemary Elliott
