# Recital for Violins and Piano
# with Eri Kang, piano

Gil Shaham is one of the leading violinists in the world today. Performing on some of the world's greatest stages for decades, he has appeared with many of the most prominent orchestras as a soloist and a conductor, and also toured extensively as a recitalist. During the current lockdown in NYC, Gil played at charity events with his wife Adele Anthony, herself an accomplished violinist. The beautiful program they have chosen is born from the spirit of making music at home during the current pandemic.

# The Great Clarinet Quintet

After the completion of the Op. 111 string quintet, Johannes Brahms decided to end his career as a composer. But when Brahms heard clarinetist Richard Mühlfeld performing he decided to start composing again and wrote, among other masterpieces, his quintet for clarinet, 2 violins, viola and cello. The piece is inspired by Hungarian folk tunes and still commands the title for the most beautiful and versatile composition of its genre. Enjoy hearing this masterpiece by 5 commanding musicians: Anthony McGill, the principal clarinet of the New York Philharmonic, violinists Gil Shaham and Adele Anthony, Colin Jacobsen, viola and Eric Jacobsen, cello.

# The Beethoven Project I
The superb players of the Dresden Festival Orchestra come from many European cities, including Vienna, Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam, Freiburg, and London. All players are experts for 'performance practice' and play on period instruments. Hearing Beethoven's Symphonies on the instruments of his time is a rare pleasure. The experience brings us closer to the sound of the world premiere of these works and helps us understand the emotions and motivations behind those genius creations. The wonderful Catalan conductor Josep Caballe-Domenech is familiar with this very special orchestra, having conducted the group on tour and in Dresden during the Festival.
