Our opening night introduces our nine resident musicians in a delightful tasting menu of mixed duos and trios, ranging from jazzy to romantic. The title of the program comes from a suite for solo piano written in 1923 by composer, writer, and critic Marion Bauer; you’ll hear the first movement of this work, entitled “White Birches.” We’ll end with the trio version of the iconic Suite from L’Histoire du soldat (The Soldier’s Tale) by Igor Stravinsky.
