Bridgehampton
Chamber
Music Festival
Marya Martin, Artistic Director
33rd Season
July 31–August 28, 2016
Dear Friends,
Welcome to the 33rd Bridgehampton Chamber Music Festival!
Following on the heels of our second successful spring series,
this year’s summer festival is packed with both the beloved
and the revelatory. We start the season with a special program
dedicated to the life of Mozart hosted by friend of the Festival
Alan Alda in which he weaves the letters of Mozart, his family,
and those who knew him best with music of the great master.
The following Wednesday, our Free Outdoor Concert moves
to the field in back of our home venue at the Bridgehampton
Presbyterian Church. There we will present Summer Winds,
a program that draws on some of the most beautiful and
enticing music ever written for mixed ensemble.
On Saturday, August 6, friends of the Festival will gather at
our annual benefit for a virtuosic evening of music and dining
in support of the festival. BCMF’s donors make everything
we do possible, and we are deeply grateful for your
continued support.
Over the course of the festival we will present beloved
works by Bach, Mozart, Schubert, Beethoven, Mendelssohn,
Brahms, and Dvořák, as well as rarely heard gems by their
contemporaries such as Boccherini, Spohr, Hummel, and
Rheinberger. We continue to explore the best in contemporary
music and have several exciting surprises in store. I’m also
thrilled that our partnership with the Parrish Art Museum
continues with two performances offered on the same day.
Our sole Saturday concert this year focuses on music from
the Court of the Sun King, Louis XIV, and students of his most
famous court musician, Jean-Baptiste Lully.
Finally, we are constantly amazed by the truly magical
musicians who join me each summer to share their artistic
passion with you, our beloved audience.
I look forward to seeing you at the concerts.
With warm regards,
Marya Martin
Founder and Artistic Director

Week 2
Mozart: A Portrait in
Music and Words
Sunday, July 31, 6:30 pm
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart:
wunderkind, prolific composer, virtuoso
pianist, creator of some of the most
perfectly profound music in history.
He lived life to the full and died, at 35,
virtually penniless. Actor Alan Alda
takes us on a journey that explores
Mozart’s life through his music and
letters, painting an intimate portrait
of a great artist.

Summer Winds
Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church Grounds
“Music is above words; it begins where words no longer suffice.”
So said composer Josef Rheinberger, and we couldn’t agree more.
Please join us for an exuberant hour of music that speaks for itself.
Bring a picnic and a friend and enjoy! This year we are at a new
location – the field located directly behind our home venue, the
Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church.

Annual Benefit
A Virtuoso Evening
Atlantic Golf Club
Support the Festival and enjoy an evening of virtuosic wonder, with a superb
collection of international luminaries performing a program stretching over
300 years of composition. From Vivaldi’s sparkling concerto, to Schnittke’s
tongue-in-cheek homage to Mozart, to the gorgeous and almost orchestral
Nonet of Spohr, the elegant and rousing program will be followed by cocktails
and dinner.
Vivaldi Concerto for Flute, Oboe, and Bassoon in G minor, RV.103
Schnittke Moz-Art for Two Violins (1976)
Spohr Nonet for Winds and Strings in F major, Op. 31 (1813)
Marya Martin, flute

Ani Kavafian, violin
Kristin Lee, violin
By far Beethoven’s most popular work during his lifetime, the expansive and
charmingly delightful Septet captures the young composer’s impish brilliance
and compositional mastery. Beethoven ushered in the Romantic style of music
to follow, laying the groundwork for the lush, orchestral textures of Josef
Rheinberger’s Nonet. Combined, it makes for an evening not to be missed.
Rheinberger Nonet for Winds and Strings in E-flat major, Op. 139 (1884)
Beethoven Septet for Winds and Strings in E-flat major, Op. 20 (1800)

Week 3
Bach/Shostakovich/
Mendelssohn
Shostakovich and Mendelssohn had much in common: both were
child prodigies, both left behind a vast body of work, both were
fantastic pianists, and both were capable of plumbing the depths
of the human psyche. Shostakovich’s piano quintet combines
soul-searching and sweetness, while Mendelssohn’s D minor trio
begins in restless disquietude but ends in triumph. Opening the
program is JC Bach’s G major Flute Quartet, a lovely work that
bridges the gap between Baroque and Classical music.
JC Bach
Flute Quartet in G major, Op. 19, No. 3 (1784)
Shostakovich Piano Quintet in G minor, Op. 57 (1940)
Mendelssohn Piano Trio in D minor, Op. 49 (1839)
Marya Martin, flute
Alexander Sitkovetsky, violin
Cynthia Phelps, viola
Carter Brey, cello
Orion Weiss, piano
Romantic Adventure
Be swept away on a voyage of sound. From the first bubbling notes
of Martinů’s Sonata you will be transported into another world.
Dohnányi’s youthfully romantic Serenade continues the excursion
before arriving at Fauré’s stunningly beautiful Quintet, an adventure of
color and nuance unto itself.
Martinů
Sonata for Flute, Violin and Piano, H. 254 (1936)

Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos
Unfinished Business
Taking the Parrish Art Museum’s concurrent exhibit entitled “Unfinished Business”
as our cue, we’ve put together a program that ponders the question “When is
a finished piece unfinished?” Whether a movement of an uncompleted work
(Schubert), a single idea used to create many works of the same name (Pärt), a
work drawing on a bygone dance form (Brown), or music that pays homage to
the past through the looking glass of the present (Harbison), we explore the many
ways… Tickets include access to the Parrish Art Museum’s collection.

Week 5
Profound Virtuosity
Music can be profound. It can be virtuosic. But when it is both, the hair on
the back of your neck stands up. In the capable hands of some of the world’s
best chamber musicians, it is nothing short of a marvel. This program
combines a depth of spirit and a technical mastery sure to delight and amaze.
Here are three “B’s” worth hearing – William Bolcom’s sly and humorous
Haydn Go Seek looks back with a wink to the great master of the Classical
period, Josef Haydn, while Boccherini’s Flute Quintet continues the festival’s
tradition of presenting these rarely heard but deeply satisfying flute quintets.
The program concludes with Brahms’ majestically powerful A major
Piano Quartet.
Mozart Concerto for Piano and Strings in Eb major, K. 449
(1782-84)
Penderecki String Trio (1990-91)
Hummel Septet for Piano, Flute, Oboe, Horn, Viola, Cello, and Bass

Baroque Saturday
Lully’s Legacy: From the
Court of the Sun King
At the height of the French monarchy, Louis XIV, the “Sun King,” devoted
much time and energy to support the arts. One of his most famous musicians,
Jean-Baptiste Lully, produced not only great music but attracted the best
composers to work with him. Here we place Lully alongside his incredibly
talented musical protégés.
LullyOverture and Passacaille from Armide for Flute, Strings
and Continuo (1686)

Festive Finale
Packed with memorable and emotionally charged
melodies, Dvořák’s stunning Op. 81 Piano Quintet
is among the best in the genre. Written in the
same year and showing the composer’s lighter
side, Dvořák wrote his Miniatures to play with
close friends – the definition of chamber music. In
between, Nino Rota’s dazzling Trio provides the
perfect counterpoint for the 2017 summer season’s
final concert. .
Dvořák
Four Miniatures for Two Violins and Viola, Op. 75a (1887)
Rota
Trio for Piano, Flute, and Violin (1958)
