SPRING MUSICALE: 2019 EDITION
The spirited ArtsAhimsa ensemble returned for its ninth season with chamber works by Antonín Dvořák and Johannes Brahms on Sunday, April 14th. The richly varied repertoire – ranging from solo instrument to quintet – included Dvořák’s inventive Humoresques Opus 101 nos. 1 and 7 (the latter arranged for violin and piano by Kreisler); selections from Dvořák’s “Dumky” Trio; the rarely heard Dvořák String Quartet No. 5 in F Minor, Opus 9; plus the Piano Quintet in F Minor, Opus 34, composed by Dvořák’s mentor, Johannes Brahms. Organized by violinist Laura Jean Goldberg, the performance featured musicians Lilit Gampel, Jessica Troy, Ted Ackerman, Anna Royzman, and Moshe Knoll as well as young talents from The Chamber Music Center of New York. Attendees enjoyed meeting the artists at a post-concert reception and touring the Dvořák Room.
