Gather: Concert Program I

Presented by Music@Menlo

David Finckel and Wu Han

The festival’s opening weekend brings together timeless classics of the past with voices of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The season’s first program celebrates the ritual of gathering with friends to share in the joy of music, bookended by Patrick Castillo’s Gather, written to commemorate the opening of the Spieker Center, and Schubert’s Trout Quintet, penned in a matter of days to be enjoyed at a chamber music soiree. These programs also feature music by Mozart, Janácek, György Ligeti, and Arno Babajanian, and culminate in Brahms’s Sextet in B-flat Major, a work of serene majesty.
