Rain Date is Tuesday, August 23rd.

In the first full concert of the summer, Yonah begins with a short and brutally demanding virtuosic work by the prominent Israeli composer, Menachem Zur. Eliana Razzino Yang, fresh from Itzhak Perlman’s elite summer program, then joins Gabe for a virtuosic cello duet by Paganini. The quartet then comes together for Mozart’s crystalline and late D Major string quartet, K.499, a work which is about as perfect as a piece of music can be. The program ends with another late work, Shostakovich’s alternately elegiacal, whimsical, and cynical string quartet #11.

Menachem Zur: Prelude for solo violin

Niccolò Paganini: Moses Variations for two cellos

Mozart: String Quartet in D Major, K.499 “Hoffmeister”

Shostakovich: String Quartet #11 in F Minor

"Crippled Inside," by Lawrence Hennessy, is a quasi - autobiographical account of life in a suburban Washington D.C. family during the late 1960's. It focuses on the father-son relationship between John Matherson, a high ranking justice official, and his son James Matherson, a high school student in the middle of his, "make or break" year of completing college applications. The story is James some 50 years later as he grapples with his new role as a "celebrity Historian" on PBS. It juxtaposes the political turmoil present in the United States in the 1960's, with the familial dynamics of the Matherson family as it relates to the popular culture of music, drugs and changing moral perspectives so prevalent in that same decade.

TASN regulars with a good memory may recall Hennessy's 2009 play, "96 Tears," which focused on the relationship of mother and son from the same troubled decade. This time it's Dads turn.
