KENT, Conn.—The Sherman Chamber Ensemble will present Bartók’s World, the music of Béla Bartók and his influencers, Saturday, Aug. 30, at 7:30 p.m. at St. Andrew’s Church at 1 North Main St.
Inspired on one hand by the folk music of eastern Europe, and on the other by Strauss and Debussy, Bartok created his own unique style and is considered one of the most important composers of the 20th century.
The Piano Quintet, written when he was just 22, is richly scored with a virtuoso piano part and is a post-Romantic masterpiece.
The ensemble, with Margaret Kampmeier on piano, Eliot Bailen on cello, Susan Rotholz on flute, Doori Na on violin, and Sarah Adams on viola performing, will play Suite Paysanne Hongrois for flute and piano (trans. Paul Arma) and Piano Quintet, Sz 23 in C.
Tickets are $30 with children ages 16 and younger admitted free. Tickets can be preordered and will be available at the door as available.
