The Boston Chamber Music Society has been bringing impassioned and exceptional performances of the chamber music repertoire to the Greater Boston community for over four decades. Whether you are looking for a leisurely afternoon of music or hoping to enjoy a stimulating live performance, this concert is for you!


BCMS Presents:

Kovács: Hommage à J.S. Bach for Solo Clarinet

Wuorinen: Bearbeitungen über das Glogauer Liederbuch (Arrangements Based on the Glogau Songbook)

Bach: Contrapuncti I-IV from The Art of the Fugue, BWV 1080

Bach: Trio Sonata from The Musical Offering, BWV 1079

Schumann: Piano Quartet in E-flat major, Op. 47


We commemorate Bach’s birthday with the Trio Sonata from his Musical Offering and a string quartet arrangement of the first four contrapuntal movements from his treatise The Art of Fugue. / The program opens with Béla Kovács’s Hommage à J.S. Bach (1994) for solo clarinet—a virtuosic work that weaves Baroque style together with modern techniques for an instrument unknown to the master himself. / Next, we present Charles Wuorinen’s 1962 Bearbeitungen über das Glogauer Liederbuch, transcriptions of pieces from the earliest surviving collection of medieval partbooks. / After the intermission, we concludes the concert with Schumann’s Piano Quartet in E-flat major, an enchanting masterpiece that seamlessly blends Romantic lyricism with strict contrapuntal techniques inspired by Bach.
