Cantata Profana | Spotlight Series
Thomas Adès – Photo by Maurice Foxall
Cantata Profrana performs a program that runs the emotional gamut from the drama of The Tempest portrayed in the Court Studies of Thomas Adès to the jovial elegance of the Mozart’s E Major Piano Trio K.542. The direct austerity of Galina Ustvolskaya’s Trio for violin, clarinet, and piano, and the whimsical counterpoint of Jukka Tiensuu’s Plus II for cello and clarinet will complete the program.
