Dear Friends, Welcome to our tenth anniversary season! For ten years, Cedar Valley Chamber Music has utilized the intimate nature of chamber music to bring artists and audience members together in a format that heightens the concert experience for both parties. By moving every concert to a new venue, and by forming community partnerships with other area institutions, we engage a diverse community audience comprised of music lovers of all ages and backgrounds who are drawn to our unique blend of programming, locations, and artists. This season’s “adventurous” programming has a double meaning. While we have no plans to engage in acrobatic feats or battle rogue governments, the 2015 theme does evoke the elegance, style, and sophistication that 007 embodies. Both James Bond and CVCM are guided by “missions,” ours just happens to leave out assassinations… In place of international intrigue, we bring three concerts of stunning international repertoire to the Cedar Valley, daring encore performances in Elkader and Traer, and a series of community outreach presentations for all ages that puts the “class” in classical. Please join us this summer in our mission that brings highly trained super-artists to the Cedar Valley in what will be another summer of great chamber music. Remember: Shaken, not stirred. Hunter Capoccioni CVCM Artstic Director

CONCERT #1 GIUSEPPE TARTINI: SONATA, “DEVIL’S TRILL,” ARR. WIENIAWSKI (1713) FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN: STRING QUARTET OP. 64/5, “THE LARK” (1792) LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN: PIANO TRIO OP. 97, “ARCHDUKE” (1811) "One night, in the year 1713, I dreamed I had made a pact with the devil for my soul. Everything went as I wished: my new servant anticipated my every desire. Among other things, I gave him my violin to see if he could play. How great was my astonishment on hearing a sonata so wonderful and so beautiful, played with such great art and intelligence, as I had never even conceived in my boldest flights of fantasy. I felt enraptured, transported, enchanted: my breath failed me, and - I awoke. I immediately grasped my violin in order to retain, in part at least, the impression of my dream. In vain! The music which I at this time composed is indeed the best that I ever wrote, and I still call it the "Devil's Trill,” but the difference between it and that which so moved me is so great that I would have destroyed my instrument and have said farewell to music forever if it had been possible for me to live without the enjoyment it affords me.” - TARTINI (1765)

What can the secret link between us be? Why does the song that rolls across your land Speak to my soul with notes I understand? Why does the burden of your mystery Come like the message of a friend to me? Why do I love the spaces of your plain, Your dancing mirth, your elemental pain, Your rivers and your sad immensity? I cannot say. I only know that when I hear your soldiers singing in the street, I see your peasants reaping in the wheat, Your children playing on the road, your men At prayer before a shrine, I wish them well. I know it is with you that I would dwell. -MAURICE BARING (1905)

"Because I have conducted my own operas and love sheep-dogs; because I generally dress in tweeds, and sometimes, at winter afternoon concerts, have even conducted in them; because I was a militant suffragette and seized a chance of beating time to "The March of the Women" from the window of my cell in Holloway Prison with a tooth-brush; because I have written books, spoken speeches, broadcast, and don't always make sure that my hat is on straight; for these and other equally pertinent reasons, in a certain sense I am well known.”
