Bridgehampton Chamber Music Festival Marya Martin, Artistic Director 3 Saturdays at 6pm February 27 April 9 May 14 spring 16
Dear Friends, We re back! Our dream of bringing a spring series to life came true last season, and it was so successful that we ve decided to add a third concert this season. All will take place Saturday evenings at 6pm, sprinkled from late February through mid-may. And the artists I m thrilled to have many festival favorites returning to perform, including violinist Ani Kavafian, who has been with us since the very beginning 33 years ago, as well as cellists Peter Wiley and Ed Arron, both of whom have been delighting BCMF artists for many years. More recent festival artists, such as violinists Bella Hristova and Tien-Hsin Cindy Wu, and the wonderful harpsichordist Kenneth Weiss, will be back with us again, too. I m also particularly looking forward to introducing BCMF audiences to the superb young Finnish pianist Juho Pohjonen. Finally, some of you may remember the Miró Quartet s first appearance with us last spring. Well, they were so much fun that we couldn t resist asking them back, and what a program they are offering two of Beethoven s greatest string quartets alongside Argentinian composer Alberto Ginastera s folk-influenced String Quartet No. 1. While we re on music, the other two programs are equally exciting. In February, we ll recreate the sound world that Johann Sebastian Bach would have known during his life, and in May, we ll trace the development of classical music through works by Haydn, Mozart, and Schubert. We hope you ll join us for all three concerts. If you do, you can take advantage of our first-ever subscription savings see inside for details. Can t wait to see you in the audience! Warm regards, Marya Martin Founder and Artistic Director

Bach s World Saturday, February 27, 6:00 pm Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church Spring comes early in a program of Baroque delights that revolves around the life and times of Johann Sebastian Bach. Join us as we explore his world, from building on Corelli s groundbreaking trio sonatas, to his friendly rivalry with Telemann (who was considered by his contemporaries to be the best musician of his day), to the legacy Bach left through his talented sons. Combined, the program paints a fascinating musical portrait not to be missed. JS Bach Trio Sonata in G major, BWV 1039 CPE Bach Flute Sonata in G minor (formerly BWV 1020) JC Bach Fasch Quartet in D major for Flute, Violin, Viola, and Cello, Op. 19, No. 2 Sonata in B-flat major for Flute and Two Violins Corelli Trio Sonata in A major, Op. 3, No. 12 Telemann Tafelmusik Quartet in D minor for Flute, Two Violins, Cello, and Harpsichord, TWV 43:d1 Marya Martin, flute Bella Hristova, violin Tien-Hsin Cindy Wu, violin/viola Edward Arron, cello Kenneth Weiss, harpsichord
Miró Quartet Saturday, April 9, 6:00 pm Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church The Miró are back for a second season, bringing their signature vibrant playing style and deeply musical interpretations. This year, they perform a blockbuster program featuring Ginastera s lively and brightly energetic 1st string quartet, and two of Beethoven s iconic quartets the tautly wound Serioso and the thrilling and expansive C major Razumovsky quartet, whose final movement is one of Beethoven s most exciting and beloved. Beethoven String Quartet in F minor, Op. 95, Serioso Ginastera String Quartet No. 1, Op. 20 Beethoven String Quartet in C major, Op. 59, No. 3, Razumovsky Miró String Quartet Daniel Ching, violin William Fedkenheuer, violin John Largess, viola Joshua Gindele, cello
Haydn/Mozart/ Schubert Saturday, May 14, 6:00 pm Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church Our final spring series program provides a perfect snapshot of the development of classical music. Haydn s early, cheery, London trio sets a standard for the period. Mozart s C major trio, with its crystalline beauty and elegant lines, perhaps best exemplifies the classical period, while Schubert s E-flat major trio pushes towards romanticism with his grand, flowing melodies, and haunting and ultimately triumphant climax. Haydn London Trio No. 1 in C major for Flute, Violin, and Cello, Hob IV:1 Mozart Piano Trio in C major, K. 548 Schubert Piano Trio in E-flat major, D. 929 Marya Martin, flute Ani Kavafian, violin Peter Wiley, cello Juho Pohjonen, piano
