Chameleon Arts Ensemble presents a timely meditation on the subject of Love. Love stories are universal subjects for artists – even the ones that don't end happily ever after! Thea Musgrave creates a portrait of the classic Commedia dell’Arte love triangle with Pierrot Dreaming for violin, clarinet & piano. Brahms felt so much guilt after a botched affair that he wove her name into his rapturous G Major String Sextet, writing afterward: “I have freed myself from my last love.” Also on the program are the Boston premiere of Fang Man’s Larkspur for flute, viola, and harp, and Leos Janacek’s Pohadka for cello and piano, scenes from a Russian fairytale of love and valor.
