Summerfest Concerts - Beethoven's Memorable Septet

Time has a way of choosing what pieces of music survive and which disappear. Consider the first composer on the third week’s concert. Bernhard Henrik Crusell was the most prominent clarinet virtuoso during Beethoven’s life and a prolific composer, but today is little known. His Concert-Trio for Clarinet, Horn, and Bassoon, a playful yet demanding work, will help you remember his name. Evan Chambers is a name you might know as his music is regularly heard at Summerfest. His Fisherstreet Duo is certainly a work that will stand the test of time. Finally, Beethoven was always upset that his youthful Septet in E Flat Major, op. 20 remained one of his most popular pieces during his life. Encompassing the emotional range we expect from Beethoven but also his light and playful side, it will certainly be one of the most memorable performances this summer.
