'Great Masters Re-Imagined' Concert to Perform at Hubbard Hall, 8/6

Hubbard Hall Projects will present a Music from Salem concert, "Great Masters Re-Imagined" -- including two major masterworks of the chamber music literature, Brahms' piano quintet and Beethoven's Kreutzer sonata, performed in fascinating, little-known arrangements for string quintet with two cellos on Saturday Aug. 6, at 8 p.m. The concert, at the historic (and air-conditioned) Hubbard Hall is a pay what you wish event.

Though Brahms destroyed his own version of his piano quintet, which he had rearranged for strings, it has been reconstructed. A contemporary of Beethoven's made the arrangement of the famous Kreutzer violin sonata for string quintet. Music from Salem co-director Lila Brown, viola, is joined by violinists Ariadne Daskalakis and Cornelia Schwartz, as well as cellist Matthias Naegele. New to Music from Salem with this concert is cellist Andrew Mark, chair of the string department at The Boston Conservatory.

As part of preparations for this concert, the group will hold a free open rehearsal at the Brown Farm, 154 Priest Rd, in Salem, N.Y., on Aug. 4, at 4 p.m.

Celebrating its 25th season, Music from Salem is a chamber music festival that brings together accomplished musicians of international reputation each summer to lead educational workshops and seminars and prepare chamber music in rural Washington County.
