Festival Mozaic - Chamber Concert 2

Festival Mozaic is proud to present its first summer chamber music concert at the Templeton Performing Arts Center. Beethoven’s Kakadu Variations for piano trio opens the program, followed by Louise Farrenc’s wonderful bass quintet (string quartet plus a bass), and Ruth Crawford Seeger’s violin sonata written in 1926. Mendelssohn’s sextet finishes the program, which is almost a chamber piano concerto given the virtuosic and dominating part for the piano.
