Concerts | Nebraska Chamber Players

2011-12 Concert Series

September 23 & 25 • three by three

Discover the fine art of the trio for piano and winds. Beethoven’s elegant Trio for flute, bassoon and piano; Mikhail Glinka’s lovely Trio Pathétique for clarinet, bassoon and piano; and Carl Reinecke’s dramatic trio for piano, clarinet and horn.

November 4 & 6 • what a great trip it’s been

We celebrate 15 years of performing five centuries worth of chamber music, beginning with a delightful Mozart trio for clarinet, cello and piano; Dohnányi’s romantic Serenade for string trio; Philip Parker’s exotic “Beneath the Canopy” for flute and percussion; and finally a wild and wonderful work for viola, double bass and tape, Frank Proto’s “Reflections.”

January 27 & 29 • all strings attached

A luxury-class ride featuring the mellifluous sounds of strings, harp, flute and voice. Albert Roussel's Sérénade for flute, harp, violin, viola and cello; Samuel Barber’s Dover Beach for voice and string quartet; Florent Schmitt's Suite en rocaille for flute, harp, violin, viola and cello; and a new work by Tristan Fuentes for soprano, percussion and sound file entitled Tyrannis Nix?. In addition, the concert will feature talented young violinist Helen Dowd, runner-up for the 2011 Max & Lilly Larsen Young Artist Award, joining the Players in Crisantemi, a string quartet by Giacomo Puccini.

April 13 & 15 • premiere week

Get on board for a truly landmark event! Rusty Banks returns to Lincoln as composer-in-residence for a week as the Nebraska Chamber Players present the world premiere of “Ashfall,” a Nebraska-inspired work written by Banks for this ensemble’s unique combination of eleven instruments. Rusty Banks writes modern music with an emphasis on beauty and invention, and TCCP performances of his works over the past 15 years have been major audience-pleasers. This monumental program also includes another relatively large-scale chamber work, Louise Farrenc’s Nonet for wind quintet and strings.
