Come for some beauty, light, and music next to Central Park.
Program
About the music: You'll hear classics of the bassoon quartet repertoire, such as Prokofiev's Humorous Scherzo, as well as a wide variety of arrangements, including Bernstein's famous Candide Overture and a delightful set of preludes by Shostakovich originally for piano. The quartet includes three bassoons and one contrabassoon, the unusual instrument that plays even lower than a double bass.
About the musicians: We are four bassoonists who spent the summer playing as a quartet in Central Park. We are graduates of Juilliard, Manhattan School of Music, and Yale, and we all regularly perform and teach around NYC.

Lussier: Bassango
Shostakovich, arr. Sommer: Four Preludes, Op. 34

It was a pleasure for us to play in this beautiful space for a fantastic audience. We would happily return for future Groupmuse events!

I'm still thinking about Thursday! It was such a pleasure to share a bassoony evening with you this week. If anyone else has photos or videos, please feel free to post them here or send them to me. Hope to see you again soon at the next groupmuse!
