CCCMF presents The TEACHER AND THE STUDENT 8/8

Cape Cod Chamber Music Festival (CCCMF), celebrating its 38th season as Cape Cod's premiere presenter of summer chamber music presents The Teacher and the Student, on Tuesday, August 8, 7:30 pm at Cotuit Center for the Arts, 4404 Falmouth Road, Cotuit.

The Teacher and Student offers insight into the compositional juxtaposition of styles between master Czech composer Antonín Dvó?ak and his then-teen student Joseph Suk. Dvó?ak's Three Slavonic Dances and Trio in E Minor for Violin, Cello, and Piano, Opus 90 ('Dumky Trio'), paired with Suk's impressive Quartet in A Minor for Violin, Viola, Cello and Piano, Opus 1 reveal the similarities and differences of two of romanticism's most passionate and prolific composers through their lifetime as a fascinating student-mentor duo. In addition to Festival Artistic Director Jon Nakamatsu on piano, the evening features a spectacular roster of instrumentalists, including Adam Barnett-Hart, violin, Rebecca Young, viola, Daniel McDonough, cello and Susan Grace, piano.
