Website: www.watermelonwednesdays.com
“The Chiara Quartet gave these works luminous performances, underlining the sweet-toned character of Ms. Frank’s score and the mystery and exoticism of Mr. Zhou’s work. But the best performances were searing accounts of the Bartok and Golijov pieces, for which the players produced a tone that ranged from glowing warmth to hard-edged acerbity, which each of these searing works demands.” – The New York Times More Info

Hand to Hand: Photographs by Zeva Oelbaum
July 12, 2009 - September 7, 2009
The exhibition, Hand to Hand: Photographs by Zeva Oelbaum features 18 toned gelatin silver prints depicting fragments of endpapers from old Hebrew books passed down through generations. Manipulating imagery from her families’ books and others sourced from the Jewish community, Oelbaum creates a body of work that transforms markings written in multiple languages –– Latin, Russian, German, Polish, Aramaic, and Yiddish –– into a coherent visual story. With her camera, Oelbaum immortalizes the inherent lyricism in a word, a scribble, and even something as seemingly insignificant as an ink blot, as they dance across the page, transformed from language to pure form.

Mohawk Trail Concert: "Papa" Haydn and Felix Mendelssohn
July 24, 2009 - July 25, 2009
- 7:30
Two of the greatest contributors to chamber music literature are remembered this year, which marks the 200th anniversary of Haydn's death and of Mendelssohn's birth. In tribute we have programmed Haydn's Quartet Op.20 No.3, and his Trio Hob. XV/.25, a work which almost immediately became a household favorite for its ebullient final "Gypsy Rondo" movement. Mendelssohn's profound Piano Trio Op.49 closes our fortieth anniversary, its serene lyricism providing the assurance that great music is an invaluable nurturing resource for our lives. Familiar Mohawk Trail artist friends Masako Yanagita, and Sheila Reinhold, violin, Ronald Gorevic, violin & viola, Maxine Neuman, cello, and Abba Bogin, piano, perform.
Friday night performances are at 7:30 p.m.
Saturday performance at 8:00 p.m. More Info

Loved and respected by his contemporaries and musicians throughout history we choose first a classic string quartet and end the concert and season with his exhilarating `Gypsy Rondo' Piano Trio, Op.25. This last concert of the anniversary season also salutes again the young genius Mendelssohn adding a performance of his Piano Trio, Op.49. Performers will include longtime friends Masako Yanagita, violin/viola, Sheila Reinhold, violin, Maxine Neuman, cello and Abba Bogin, piano. More Info
