Dear Friends,
We’re back! Our dream of bringing
a spring series to life came true last
season, and it was so successful that
we’ve decided to add a third concert
this season. All will take place Saturday
evenings at 6pm, sprinkled from late
February through mid-May.
And the artists – I’m thrilled to have
many festival favorites returning to perform, including
violinist Ani Kavafian, who has been with us since the very
beginning 33 years ago, as well as cellists Peter Wiley and
Ed Arron, both of whom have been delighting BCMF artists
for many years. More recent festival artists, such as violinists
Bella Hristova and Tien-Hsin Cindy Wu, and the wonderful
harpsichordist Kenneth Weiss, will be back with us again,
too. I’m also particularly looking forward to introducing BCMF
audiences to the superb young Finnish pianist Juho Pohjonen.
Finally, some of you may remember the Miró Quartet’s first
appearance with us last spring. Well, they were so much
fun that we couldn’t resist asking them back, and what a
program they are offering – two of Beethoven’s greatest string
quartets alongside Argentinian composer Alberto Ginastera’s
folk-influenced String Quartet No. 1.
While we’re on music, the other two programs are equally
exciting. In February, we’ll recreate the sound world that
Johann Sebastian Bach would have known during his life,
and in May, we’ll trace the development of “classical” music
through works by Haydn, Mozart, and Schubert.
We hope you’ll join us for all three concerts. If you do, you can
take advantage of our first-ever subscription savings – see
inside for details. Can’t wait to see you in the audience!
Warm regards,
Marya Martin

Spring comes early in a program of Baroque delights that
revolves around the life and times of Johann Sebastian Bach.
Join us as we explore his world, from building on Corelli’s
groundbreaking trio sonatas, to his friendly rivalry with Telemann
(who was considered by his contemporaries to be the best
musician of his day), to the legacy Bach left through his talented
sons. Combined, the program paints a fascinating musical
portrait not to be missed.

Miró Quartet
Saturday, April 9, 6:00 pm
Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church
The Miró are back for a second season, bringing their signature
vibrant playing style and deeply musical interpretations. This
year, they perform a blockbuster program featuring Ginastera’s
lively and brightly energetic 1st string quartet, and two of
Beethoven’s iconic quartets – the tautly wound “Serioso” and
the thrilling and expansive C major “Razumovsky” quartet,
whose final movement is one of Beethoven’s most exciting
and beloved.

Our final spring series program provides a perfect snapshot of
the development of “classical” music. Haydn’s early, cheery,
London trio sets a standard for the period. Mozart’s C major
trio, with its crystalline beauty and elegant lines, perhaps best
exemplifies the classical period, while Schubert’s E-flat major trio
pushes towards romanticism with his grand, flowing melodies,
and haunting and ultimately triumphant climax.
