After a successful fundraising campaign, SMF unveils the newest member of the family - a stunning replica of Conrad Graf's 1830 Viennese fortepiano made by Rod Regier. This instrument is the ideal vehicle for historically-informed performance of music from middle Beethoven (circa 1805) through the birth of Brahms. Beethoven's beloved Choral Fantasy caps a program of solo, vocal, and chamber works.
Schubert | March Militaire in D major, D733, for piano four hands
Hensel | Serenade: "June," from Das Jahr, for piano solo
Mendelssohn | Menuetto and Allegro Vivace, from Piano Sextet in D, Op. 110
Schumann | Liederkreis Op. 39, for voices and piano (staged by Timothy Nelson)
Beethoven, arr. Hummel | Allegro ma non troppo, from Symphony No. 6, for flute, violin, cello, and piano
Beethoven | Choral Fantasy, Op. 80, for piano, chorus and orchestra
