Description:
Musica Viva presents the concert "Autumn Joy - Chamber Music for Piano and Strings" at Squires Recital Salon on the campus of Virginia Tech on Sunday, November 12, 2017.

This concert features chamber music of various combinations for piano and strings. The program includes Mendelssohn Sextet, known for the great virtuosity demanded of the pianist, and the unusual instrumentation of violin, two violas, cello, double bass, and piano. We are also excited for the Virginia premier of Richard Ratner's Piano Quintet, which has the same instrumentation as the Schubert Trout Quintet. Also included will be a piano duet for four hands.

Musicians include Elizabeth Schumann and Teresa Ehrlich, piano; David Ehrlich, violin; Diane Phoenix-Neal, and Amadi Azikiwe, viola; Benjamin Wyatt, cello; Samuel Suggs, double bass.

Tickets can be purchased online or through the Virginia Tech Ticket Office. To purchase tickets online, visit: http://www.musicaviva-swva.com/onlineorders.php.

Musica Viva is organized to promote awareness and appreciation of chamber music specifically, and the arts in general.

We strive to provide five chamber music events per year. Musica Viva was created in recognition that access to the arts, in its many manifestations, is universally cited as central to the quality of life in a community.
