Chameleon Arts Ensemble – The Tipping Point: Ives, Ravel, Puts, Bartók

NOV

4:00 PM to 6:00 PM
Location: First Church in Boston

Ives’ Sunrise for soprano, violin, and piano amplifies the magical moment when the sun breaches the horizon, while Kevin Puts envisions cinematic battles with “And Legions Will Rise” for clarinet, violin, and marimba. Ravel’s emotionally charged Madagascan songs stand at the precipice of a radical new style, with their provocative subject matter and atmosphere of ferocious exultation. Bartóks Piano Quintet is a rarely heard gem filled with youthful passion and his love for the folk songs and csárdás from the cafes around Budapest, reminding us to take a chance, cross the threshold, and tip.
