When you Play the Hand You've Been Dealt, you make the most of whatever situation you've been handed. Our musical version features composers who were handed lemons and made lemonade. Dick Kattenburg was Dutch Jew who died in the Holocaust. Despite the terrible hand he was dealt, he composed fantastic music, including the Quartet for flute, violin, cello, and piano. Erich Wolfgang Korngold was commissioned to write a work for pianist Paul Wittgenstein, who had lost his right arm in World War I. The Suite for two violins, cello, and piano left-hand is a thrilling work in which Korngold literally plays the hand he was dealt. Our season concludes with Beethoven's "Archduke" piano trio, one of his greatest creations. The premiere performance of this trio was Beethoven's last appearance as a pianist in public, for deafness soon overtook him. Musicians will include artistic directors Stephanie Jutt, flute, and Jeffrey Sykes, piano; the San Francisco Piano Trio, which includes Sykes; violinist, Axel Strauss, from the Schulich School of Music of McGill University in Montreal; and cellist, Jean-Michel Foneneau, from the San Francisco Conservatory; and concertmaster, Naha Greenholtz, from the Madison Symphony Orchestra.
Ages: We welcome children over 6.
