After journeying through the early and middle periods of the great composers, Pacific Symphony's Café Ludwig series concludes the 2014-15 season by exploring chamber music from the late periods of “Beethoven, Brahms and Schubert.” With full lives of experience and writing music behind them, composers at the end of their careers conveyed expressive emotions in the most concise and beautiful ways. Pianist and host Orli Shaham shares the genius and distinctive qualities of the music as she performs with Symphony musicians Raymond Kobler on violin, Timothy Landauer on cello and David Chang on clarinet. The concert features Beethoven's Cello Sonata No. 5, well-known for its technical demands, Brahms' poetic Four Pieces for Piano interwoven with Brett Dean's “Hommage à Brahms,” Schubert's rhythmically exuberant Nocturne for Piano, Violin and Cello and Brahms' Trio for Clarinet, Cello and Piano.
