The Isles Ensemble - Saxophone & Strings

The Isles Ensemble welcomes two guest artists: pianist Miryana Moteva and saxophonist Steve Cole. Three iconic chamber works that feature a wind player will be performed: Mozart’s Oboe Quartet, selections from Max Bruch’s Eight Pieces for Viola, Clarinet, and Piano, and Sergei Prokofiev’s Overture on Hebrew Themes. Audiences will be surprised and delighted to hear these works played on the saxophone instead of an oboe or clarinet. The program concludes with Dvorak’s soaringly beautiful Piano Trio No. 2 in G minor.
