2013-2014 Concert Series
Erik Peterson, Artistic Director
Dear Friends,
It is a thrill for me as I look forward to intriguing chamber music performances of the Front Range Chamber Players’ 2013-2014 season. Chamber music will strengthen friendships as we listen to new compositions, and meet new musicians joining FRCP for the first time. Of course, we will also enjoy reacquainting ourselves with those compositions and musicians already dear to our hearts.
My good friends, Kenji Bunch and Monica Ohuchi, will join us in October to present a great sonata for viola by Brahms alongside the Colorado premiere of Bunch’s 2013 Serenade for C flute, alto, and piccolo; violin, and viola. Kenji is an exciting, young, American composer and violist whose wonderfully accessible music is influenced by the American traditions of Jazz, Bluegrass, and Rock. You may remember Monica from her appearance with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra performing Kenji’s piano concerto.
In November, my colleagues of the Mendelsohn Trio, Barbara Thiem, and Theodor Lichtmann, will join me in a performance of three wonderful and iconic works of Beethoven from his early and middle periods of composition. These divergent gems will engage listeners in exploring the vast tonalities and colors created by this master of Classicism.
John McGuire, CSU faculty, and Michael Thornton, Principal Horn of the Colorado Symphony, will join Front Range Chamber Players as we kick off the new year. We will present a thrilling musical ride by American composer, Kerry Turner, for Horn and Strings. Also, we will enjoy a light side, and the antics of, a favorite musical jokester, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
Our final concert features FRCP’s good friend and CSU’s wonderful clarinetist, Wesley Ferreira, in Brahms’ musical masterpiece, the Clarinet Quintet in b minor. This work’s soaring melodies will not soon be forgotten as we look into the future for more great music to come from the next generation of wonderful composers.
I look forward to sharing this musical journey with you.
Sincerely,
Erik Peterson
