About this Concert:
For an April evening, here’s chamber music as warm and original as a spring shower after the long winter.
SAINT-SAËNS
Septet for Piano, Trumpet and Strings
- Rui Du, violin
- Taichi Chen, violin
- Megan Tam, viola
- Sachiya Isomura, cello
- Robert Anderson, bass
- Takako Seimiya, trumpet
- Susan Billmeyer, piano
PROKOFIEV
Quintet in G minor for Oboe, Clarinet, Violin, Viola and Double Bass

- Jonathan Magness, violin
- Kenneth Freed, viola
- David Williamson, bass
More Details:
- $25 tickets, plus one complimentary beverage ($10 for patrons attending the 8pm performance).
- Saint-Saëns’ Septet is unlike just about any other chamber piece in that, one moment it echoes centuries of lush strings-and-piano masterpieces—then here comes a playful trumpet!
- In the mid-1920s, the Russian Prokofiev was living in Paris and a traveling ballet troupe with five instrumentalists asked him to write a piece for them. After creating his ballet Trapeze, he kept going and wrote his Quintet for the same lucky ensemble.
- Every winter with good snow, St. Paul native David Williamson puts away his bass after rehearsal and straps on his skis to train for a cross-country marathon.
