About the series | MUSICAL MASTERS OF THE STAGE AND SCREEN
“Rule Number One in orchestral playing is: it’s all chamber music.” – Leonard Bernstein
The Sunday Chamber Music series invites new listeners and aficionados alike to experience the rich world and intimate musical conversations of classical chamber music, performed at the highest levels.
This season’s series highlights composers who moved fluidly between the concert hall, film scoring and works for the stage. Featuring works by Leonard Bernstein, Erich Korngold, Bernard Herrmann, Nino Rota and Oscar Levant among other greats, the series explores how film and the stage shaped composers, in Hollywood and beyond.
Cellist Eric Wilson, this season’s Series Curator and Host, enjoys a rich career as a soloist and chamber musician in addition to being a UBC cello and chamber music professor. A founding member of the acclaimed Emerson String Quartet and solo cellist of the Ensemble of New York in residence at Lincoln Center, New York, he has delighted audiences throughout decades of performances across the world.
ABOUT THE SHOW
Each piece representing a personal musical journey, this concert features emotional depth and rich musical textures. Showcasing Italian composer Nino Rota's versatility beyond his renowned film scores, the Trio for Clarinet, Cello, and Piano is a virtuosic musical romp. Copland's vibrant Sextet reflects his uniquely ‘American’ style. Bernard Herrmann's deeply evocative Souvenirs de Voyage captures the essence of his cinematic genius in an intimate chamber music setting.
