CUC Music: Sun Mar 1

This Sunday, we welcome oboist Ian Shafer and bassoonist Leonard Hindell to CUC in Francis Poulenc’s charming Trio for Oboe, Bassoon, and Piano. Poulenc’s music illustrates the theme of Brokenness in a surprisingly positive, life-affirming way. The music seems to piece together fragments of popular tunes, military fanfares, children’s melodies, romantic excess and classical elegance in a kaleidoscopic array of changing perspectives.
Come at 10am to hear Music Director Adam Kent in a chat with Ian and Lenny about their respective musical instruments and the unique sound and expressive possibilities they offer. Also, consider attending and inviting your friends to the Chamber Music Gems concert at CUC on Sunday March 8 at 3pm to hear more from these marvelous musicians and their colleagues.
