Portland Chamber Music Festival: ECCO Jubilee
PCMF is delighted to take part in this extraordinary ensemble’s 25th anniversary season. Edvard Grieg’s beloved Holberg Suite, a stylized set of French Baroque dances, opens the festivities with neoclassical elegance. Every great party needs a little drama, here provided by Franz Liszt’s sensational tone poem Malédiction, followed by an intriguing violin duo. Antonín Dvořák’s radiant Serenade for Strings sends off the season with melodies that are among the greatest joys in all of chamber music.
