Portland Chamber Music Festival: Rites and Delights
From the luminous to the electrifying, this kaleidoscopic concert runs the gamut of musical experience. Caroline Shaw’s radiant songs, reimagined for string quartet and saxophone, shimmer with otherworldly beauty. Igor Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring bursts into startling new relief in a virtuoso four-hands piano arrangement. The richly woven Sextet by Ernst Dohnányi caps off an exhilarating evening with high romanticism and bold drama.
