Ritz Chamber Players: Spring Concert
Energy, enthusiasm and wind power! These words sum up the lively spring concert that includes the Mozart Quartet in F Major for oboe and strings. Mozart wrote beautifully for woodwinds and his music for winds - which includes numerous serenades, divertimentos and other works - was much admired by the young Beethoven. Mozart gives the oboist ample opportunity for virtuoso display while the strings merely accompany it, but there are also many passages of true ensemble playing where the melodic line moves easily between oboist and strings. This not-to-be-missed program includes the Jacksonville premiere of a fresh and modern string quartet by this season’s composer-in-residence, James Lee, III.
REBECCA CLARKE Prelude, Allegro and Pastorale, viola and clarinet • BRAHMS Two Songs, for alto, viola, and piano, Op. 91 • JAMES LEE The Appointed Time for String Quartet • MOZART Quartet in F Major for oboe and strings, K. 370
Performers: Shea Scruggs - Oboe, Kelly Hall-Tompkins - Violin, Kyle Lombard - Violin, Owen Young - Cello and Alison Buchanan - Soprano
