SUMMARY:MusicWorks Collective: Winter Meditation
DESCRIPTION:MusicWorks Collective presents a world premiere piece by composer and former CMW Resident Musician Laura Cetilia and works by Swiss composer and clarinetist Jürg Frey and German composer Ludwig van Beethoven. \nJoin us for a special performance of three works for string quartet that in different ways bring us toward the devotional and aspirational qualities of being human. In the premiere of the newly commissioned work counterglow\, composer (and former CMW Resident Musician) Laura Cetilia takes the audience on a 10 minute journey from the cosmos to the earth and back again\, illuminating the journey through her compositional technique of hearing every point on the length of a violin\, viola\, or cello string. Laura quotes from artist Yayoi Kusama\, who describes polka dots as invitations to the otherworldly: “Our earth is only one polka dot among a million stars in the cosmos.” \nLaura has long been inspired by the Wandelweiser Collective musicians\, including Swiss composer Jürg Frey\, whose Third Quartet is a quiet durational meditation slowly progressing through several iconic chords. In his article about the Wandelweiser Collective New Yorker music writer Alex Ross says that “in much of Frey’s music achingly Romantic harmonies drift to and fro\, as if a Mahler Adagio were suspended in zero gravity.” \nThe program ends with the slow movement from the late Beethoven a minor quartet\, Op. 132 “Heiliger Dankesang“ which the composer wrote during his recovery from what could have been a life-threatening illness. This “Holy Song of Thanksgiving from a Convalescent to the Divinity” has been a lodestar for many musicians and music lovers\, alternating between reverent stillness and spectrally celebratory music. \nWe look forward to sharing this wonderous music of contemplation and hope in the darkness of these winter days and amidst the backdrop of the struggling world. \nMusicWorks Collective in Concert\nSunday\, January 14 at 3 pm\nBell Street Chapel\, Providence \nAdmission is free but seating is limited\nMake your reservation here \n

SUMMARY:Sonata Series Event #2
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n \nClick here to join us for the live stream!\nCMW Resident Musicians Kimberly Fang (violin) and Adrienne Taylor (cello) are joined by guest pianist Andrei Baumann for this very special evening of music. Join us! \nSonata Series Event #2 brings together compositional voices from opposite sides of the globe. Chinese composers Sicong Ma and Yau-Tai Hwang were schooled in the western tradition of classical music but each developed their unique compositional style. Their compositions weave together western musical forms with melodies from Chinese traditional and folk music. Samuel Barber\, one of the most celebrated American composers of the 20th century\, wrote his Cello Sonata early in his career. Rich with lyricism\, emotional depth and dynamic interplay between the two instruments\, the Sonata stands among the great works for cello and piano. \nSonata Series #2\nThursday\, February 9 at 7 pm\nBell Street Chapel\nAdmission is free: Make your reservation here \nThis event is in person.\nWe’ll also live stream it on on ourTube channel. \nClick here to join us online!

SUMMARY:MusicWorks Collective in Concert
DESCRIPTION:Be transported! Join us for a moving musical exploration as the MusicWorks Collective performs three extraordinary works\, including two contemporary pieces that occupy the terrain between classical Indian and western music. The program features the lyrical late Mozart G minor Quintet\, a darkly heroic piece bolstered by the richness of double violas. Reena Esmail’s 2010 Piano Quintet is the composer’s first work blending sounds and motives from Hindustani music and Western composition\, in what would become a theme of her career. The string quartet in Akshaya Tucker’s “In Whose Mouth the Stars” evokes an Indian classical ensemble with its drones and open strings. \nGuest pianist Eliko Akahori joins MusicWorks Collective for this event. \nMusicWorks Collective in Concert\nSaturday\, January 21 at 4 pm\nBell Street Chapel\, 5 Bell Street\, Providence\nMake Your Reservation Here

SUMMARY:Sonata Series Event #1
DESCRIPTION:For this season of our popular Sonata Series\, Community MusicWorks is excited to offer a listener’s choice: Join us in-person at Bell Street Chapel or enjoy the concert online through our first-ever live-streaming event.  \nThe Sonata Series spotlights our wonderful resident musicians in programs of solo and duo music presented in collaboration with fabulous guest artists. Each program is curated with works selected by the musicians in combinations that represent a thematic arc and a range of artistic voices. This season\, you’ll hear some familiar favorites and some works that may be newer to your ears. We hope you’ll join us for these very special evenings! \nSonata Series Event #1 features resident musicians Chloë Kline\, viola\, Miguel Vasquez\, cello\, and guest pianist\, Eliko Akahori\, for a rich and moving program of Hindemith\, Villa Lobos\, and Beethoven.  \nPaul Hindemith’s Viola Sonata Op. 25\, No.1 is a tour de force for the unaccompanied viola and shows the composer’s writing in a radical phase. The sonata traverses emotions from the fierce and nearly aggressive\, to pleading moments\, and ending with an elegiac movement. \nHeitor Villa-Lobos’s Elegie for Cello and Piano from 1916 carries a nostalgic and plaintive lyricism throughout both instruments. The Ludwig van Beethoven Sonata No. 4 for cello and piano (Op. 102\, No.1)\, sometimes called the “Free Sonata” because of its departure from conventional form\, may be unexpected in structure but familiar in its musical representation of a wide range of human emotional experiences. \nThis is a program you won’t want to miss! \nSonata Series Event #1\nThursday\, October 20 at 7 pm\nBell Street Chapel\, Providence\nAdmission is free; masks are required during the performance.  \nCommunity MusicWorks is grateful to Melanie and Stephen Coon for their sponsorship of the live stream for the Sonata Series in Season 26. \nJoining us in person?\nMake your reservation here. \nJoining us online?\nClick here to enjoy the concert via live stream.\n

SUMMARY:Season 26 Opening Concert
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nThe MusicWorks Collective Season 26 Opening Concert features selected works highlighting a range of composers’ voices that together invite the listener on a rich and moving emotional journey. \nThe program includes Rhiannon Giddens’ At the Purchaser’s Option\, arranged for string quartet\, a poignant and devastating ballad based on a historic poster advertising the sale of an enslaved mother with a newborn child offered “at the purchaser’s option.” Samuel Coleridge Taylor’s Fantasiestücke for String Quartet brings us into a late 19th-century string sound world of lush textures and tender sonorities through five melodic character pieces. The concert concludes with Antonín Dvořák’s Serenade for Strings\, uniting the audience and performers for a spirited and warm reunion among friends. \nWe can’t wait to share this program with you! \n \nMusicWorks Collective Season 26 Opening Concert\nSunday\, September 18 at 4 pm\nTemple to Music\, Roger Williams Park \nAdmission is free\nClick here to make your reservation \nRain location: Bell Street Chapel
