FROM THE DIRECTOR OF THE CHAMBER ARTS SOCIETY As the number of first-rate chamber ensembles continues to increase, we are delighted to welcome to Baldwin Auditorium five ensembles which have never before appeared on the Chamber Arts Society of Durham series. We will meet the stunning, young Dover Quartet — the first to ever have the position of Quartet-in-Residence at The Curtis Institute. We will receive our first visit from The Hagen Quartet, considered one of the premier ensembles in all of Europe. Two duos, one trio, three quartets, and two quintets promise a rich variety of the best chamber music has to offer, playing in what must be considered one of this country’s most acoustically stunning venues. Our ticket price per concert for a full season’s subscription remains less than half the per concert cost of the other front-ranking chamber concert series in the country. It is our hope that we may continue to depend on the kindness not of strangers but of familials to support the series. Please understand that without your donations (tax-deductible), we would not be able to sustain our standards of quality. We hope you will consider adding your support to our efforts. This season, for the first time, we are pleased to offer you the option of online renewals. Look for an email from the Duke University Box Office with more details. With best wishes for a wonderful season, George D. Gopen, Director Chamber Arts Society of Durham

The Dover Quartet shot to prominence after running away with the 2013 Banff International String Quartet Competition. The Chicago Tribune hails their “expert musicianship, razor-sharp ensemble, deep musical feeling, and a palpable commitment to communication.” This ensemble is the first to be given the position of Quartet-in-Residence at the Curtis Institute.
The Belcea String Quartet has become a regular presence at Duke Performances and an audience favorite. And it’s no wonder: Even after two decades together, raves The Guardian, they “still play like a young quartet, seizing the music’s energy, shocking us out of our seats with every fortissimo.”
The evening includes two late string quartets by absolute masters of the form: Mozart’s lilting penultimate string quartet, and Beethoven’s deeply expressive Thirteenth Quartet, played here with its original final movement, the continually astounding Grosse Fuge. Stravinsky thought this piece so far ahead of its time that it “will be contemporary forever.” Beethoven’s quartet, wandering the stars on a recording aboard the Voyager I probe, inspired David Ludwig’s new work, Pale Blue Dot. Ludwig, familial heir to the Serkin piano dynasty, writes music “supercharged with electrical energy and raw emotion” (Fanfare Magazine).
PROGRAM
The Belcea play two Schubert quartets: the breakthrough tenth, written by the sixteen-year-old composer under the tutelage of Salieri; and his epic final quartet, a harmonically daring masterpiece. Between these they have placed one of the towering classics of chamber music, Shostakovich’s Eighth String Quartet. This “musical autobiography,” written in a three-day burst of creativity, quotes from the composer’s previous works to assemble a rich collage of his life’s most significant moments.
PROGRAM Schubert: String Quartet No. 10 in E-flat Major, D. 87 Shostakovich: String Quartet No. 8 in C Minor, op. 110 Schubert: String Quartet No. 15 in G Major, D. 887

PACIFICA QUARTET
FEATURING
JOHANNES MOSER, CELLO
The Telegraph of London called the Pacifica Quartet’s playing “nothing short of phenomenal, bringing new dimensions of interpretative depth and a subtle fusion of intensity and clarity.” After delighting Durham audiences with clarinet quintets five seasons ago, the GRAMMY-winning ensemble returns with another unusual chamber combination: the cello quintet. They are joined by cellist Johannes Moser, whom Gramophone Magazine declared “one of the finest among the astonishing gallery of young virtuoso cellists.” The Pacifica’s concert pairs contrasting uses of the cello quintet, one classical and one contemporary. The newer piece is a world premiere from Julia Wolfe, winner of the 2015 Pulitzer Prize for her oratorio Anthracite Fields. The classical offering is Franz Schubert’s magisterial String Quintet in C Major. Unheard for more than twenty years after Schubert’s death, it is now acclaimed as one of the greatest of all chamber works.

ST. LAWRENCE STRING QUARTET
For this visit, the St. Lawrence begin with Haydn, their touchstone composer. The third of Haydn’s celebrated “sun quartets” is a piece the musicologist William Drabkin calls “one of the supreme achievements of the classical period.” They contrast that classicism with a rare chance to hear Camille Saint-Saëns’ romantic First Quartet, a piece that owes a great deal to Brahms. With these works as a foundation, the complex and uplifting op. 132 of Beethoven will show its true colors — classic, romantic, and paradoxically neither classic nor romantic.

PROGRAM
Hailed by The Washington Post as “fearless musicians whose spontaneity stretches past conventional interpretation and probes the music’s imaginative limits,” the St. Lawrence String Quartet return to Duke Performances with another kaleidoscopic program. Their sound, notes The New York Times, “has just about everything one wants from a quartet, most notably precision, warmth, and an electricity that conveys the excitement of playing whatever is on their stands at the moment.”

Each player in this dream ensemble is a star in their own right: Cellist Alisa Weilerstein is a MacArthur Fellow, praised as “a passionate player of intense musicality” (The New York Times); New York Philharmonic principal clarinetist Anthony McGill is also a tireless chamber player renowned for “his trademark brilliance, penetrating sound, and rich character” (The New York Times); and pianist Inon Barnatan is a sought-after soloist whom New York Philharmonic conductor Alan Gilbert called “a complete artist.” These three stars come together here to explore the clarinet trio repertoire with three markedly different works. Beethoven’s trio is an early, playful, and melodic joy. Brahms’ trio, which rekindled his career when he had thought it finished, drew a comment from contemporary scholar Eusebius Mandyczewski that “it is as though the instruments were in love with each other.” The program begins with the world premiere of a trio written for this group by the composer Joseph Hallman.

Christian Tetzlaff and Lars Vogt both have thriving solo careers; when they appear together, the result is truly dynamic. Their long-standing partnership brings them to Duke Performances for a program that demonstrates why The Chicago Tribune wrote that “whatever the time period and style of the music, Tetzlaff and Vogt excelled, bringing not only virtuosity but also penetration.” They begin with Beethoven’s dramatic Seventh Violin Sonata and then juxtapose it with their friend Jörg Widmann’s brand-new piece Variations. In a second revealing juxtaposition, they contrast Mozart’s introspective F Major sonata with Schubert’s bravura Rondeau brillant, both ideal showcases for “two musicians absolutely at the top of their game” (Gramophone Magazine).
PROGRAM Beethoven: Sonata for Piano and Violin No. 7 in C Minor, op. 30, no. 2 Jörg Widmann: Variations Mozart: Sonata for Piano and Violin in F Major, K. 377/374e Schubert: Rondo for Piano and Violin in B minor, D. 895

HAGEN QUARTET
FEATURING
KIRILL GERSTEIN,
The Hagen Quartet sound like they’ve been playing together their whole lives because they have. The otherworldly closeness of their sound, built on the collaboration of the three Hagen siblings with violinist Rainer Schmidt, led the the Los Angeles Times to call them “the ideal string quartet.” Legends in Europe for three decades, the rarity of their visits to the United States makes this concert a true event. For this program, they are joined by pianist Kirill Gerstein, whose “blistering technique is matched only by his deeply soulful connection to standard repertoire” (TimeOut New York).
PIANO
“IT WAS THRILLING PLAYING, SO THRILLING THAT THE HAGEN QUARTET MAY EVEN HAVE SURPRISED THEMSELVES.” — THE SPECTATOR
The Hagens begin on their own, with Beethoven’s charming Second Quartet, reminiscent of Haydn or Mozart’s styles. They demonstrate their range by turning to Bartók’s Third Quartet, a one-movement bravura powerhouse that one critic fondly refers to as “fireside Bartók.” Gerstein joins them for the finale, the propulsive and engrossing piano quintet Brahms’ friend Hermann Levi called “beautiful beyond words.”

The Guardian raved that the pairing of Alina Ibragimova and Cédric Tiberghien “mesmerises and captivates, achieving rare freshness and vitality in the most familiar repertoire.” Ibragimova studied with Christian Tetzlaff, heard earlier in the season. The Guardian has also declared Ibragimova and Tiberghien “today’s partnership of choice for violin and piano repertory.” Bach’s Fourth Violin Sonata places both instruments on equal footing, with an ever-searching piano part and a singing violin. Brahms also balanced the two instruments, naming his second such work “Sonata for Piano and Violin.” John Cage replaced functional harmony in his Six Melodies by defining a set of “gamuts” (single tones, intervals, aggregates) and turning them into melodies. Schumann’s masterful Second Sonata provides a worthy finale.
PROGRAM Bach: Sonata for Piano and Violin No. 4 in C Minor, BWV 1017 Brahms: Sonata for Piano and Violin No. 2 in A Major, op. 100 John Cage: Six Melodies Schumann: Sonata for Piano and Violin No. 2 in D Minor, op. 121

The celebrated English tenor Ian Bostridge sings “as if from inside the music, as if he has found a way to produce pure, disembodied emotion,” declared the Los Angeles Times. This great lieder singer is joined at Duke Performances by pianist and composer Thomas Adès, whom The New York Times praised as “one of the most accomplished and complete musicians of his generation.” What makes Bostridge and Adès’ collaboration a true blockbuster is the piece that brings them together: Winterreise, Schubert’s “winter journey” across a landscape of lost love. This work is a lifelong obsession for Bostridge; just last year, the Oxford Ph.D. published a book-length study of this immortal composition. When these two musical titans first joined forces, The Telegraph raved, “This was without doubt the most extraordinary, riveting, uncanny performance of Schubert’s great song-cycle I have ever witnessed.” Their performance in Durham, one of only a few in America, is sure to be a once-in-a-lifetime event.
Hilary Hahn has been performing on the most important stages since the age of eleven, and has since grown into a sensitive and mature artist. Today, she is one of the best-known violinists in the world, playing with a style that is “technically immaculate and musically magisterial” (Los Angeles Times). Her skill is matched by her musical intelligence and daring programming; not only is she a first-class exponent of Bach’s work, but she is also one of the foremost commissioners of new works for the violin (including Jennifer Higdon’s Pulitzer Prize-winning concerto). Whatever the piece, this international star performs with a musicality “at once impetuous and authoritative, brilliant and beautiful” (The New York Times). Hilary Hahn’s Duke Performances program with pianist Robert Levin has yet to be finalized. Given her extraordinary history, audiences should expect a wide-ranging repertoire and a truly moving performance from a once-in-a-generation American talent.
