CHAMBER WORKSFor Horn, Oboe, Strings & Piano
John Dee, oboe
Bernhard David Scully, horn Casey Robards, piano Jupiter String Quartet | Nelson Lee, violin; Meg Freivogel, violin; Liz Freivogel ,viola; Daniel McDonough, violincello Two quintets and one trio in classical instrumentation, and the neo-Romantic tonal language to match: it’s a difficult feat to pull off. Lewinter, however, diversifies with minimalist elements and, drawing from his considerable experience as an orchestral performer, imbues his chamber works with symphonic richness. It’s the secret ingredient, and it works.

Marianne Parker, piano There are great singers, and then there are great singers who break the mold, pushing both the musical and organizational boundaries of their craft. American mezzo-soprano Megan Ihnen impressively demonstrates her affiliation with the latter group on CURRENTS IN TIME, once more employing her formidable talents as both a 21st-century vocalist and impresaria to shine a light on a varied array of contemporary composers.
