The program for the second concert in our series includes Mendelssohn's Piano Quartet in F minor, Op. 2; Penderecki's Sextet (2000); and Brahms's Horn Trio in E-flat major, Op. 40. Featuring Michael Norsworthy, clarinet; William Purvis, French horn; Jonathan Crow, violin; Marcus Thompson, viola; Wilhelmina Smith, cello and Mihae Lee, piano.   Mendelssohn's F minor Piano Quartet, written when the composer was only 14 years old, is a remarkable musical accomplishment. Its harmonic structure is bold and the lyrical intermezzo foreshadows many familiar elements of his more mature work. The Trio in E-flat by Brahms, composed in the middle stage of his career and a short time after the death of his mother, uses the French horn instead of the more traditional cello as a sentimental remembrance of his early study of the instrument. The melancholy Adagio and the jubilant finale look back to his childhood with a reference to the German folk song “In der Weiden steht ein Haus” (“In the Meadow Stands a House”). Born in 1933, Penderecki occupies an important position in the music of his native Poland, while establishing an international reputation with music that had a wide effect. The Sextet of 2000, in two contrasting movements, is Penderecki's most substantial chamber work to date.=0D=0A=0D=0AStart time:7:30PM
