Exhalation

This event is part of the 6th annual Annapolis Chamber Music Festival, which seeks to present innovative concerts in fresh and unexpected ways.

Exhalation is a simple act which has taken on a lot of extra weight in recent times. When it is done, by whom and under what conditions have all become a source of stress at times. For musicians, especially those who exhale for a living, this has been especially true. The works on this program aim to take back this act as a signal of relief, of open expression and as a crucial musical gesture.

Each work on this program breathes in its own way. Telemann’s elegant Tafelmusik quartet, commissioned by wealthy nobles across Europe, sighs. Rebecca Clarke’s Dumka puffs out icy clouds into cold air, while Holst’s Terzetto blows bubbles on a summer breeze. Finally Glinka’s glimmering Trio Pathetique sings like no one’s listening. Join us for this concert and let us take your breath away.
