“Caution – Musicians at Play” reads a large, hand-painted sign on the rural Vermont hilltop where, each summer, musicians from all over the world come together to explore beloved and less-known chamber works. This season’s third touring ensemble from “the classical world’s most coveted retreat” (The New Yorker) showcases three outstanding emerging singers performing vocal duets by Schumann, Britten, and Brahms, alongside a pair of Haydn’s most inviting piano trios.

The program features:

Haydn: Piano Trio in E-flat Minor, Hob. XV:31
Brahms: Three Duets, Op. 20
Britten: Canticle II: Abraham and Isaac
Schumann: Four Duets, Op. 78
Haydn: Piano Trio in C Major, Hob. XV:27

Artists include soprano Bridget Esler, mezzo-soprano Chihiro Asano, tenor Patrick Bessenbacher, pianists Lydia Brown and Solomon Ge, violinist Oliver Neubauer, and cellist Judith Serkin.

This performance is part of the Bill and Mary Meyer Concert Series.
