Sheffield Chamber Players Online Concert: Musica Cordis

The title of the program is Musica Cordis (music of the heart) and the theme is quite personal — music we turn towards in the time of crisis.

Because of social distancing, the full group can’t gather to perform. That has proved to be no obstacle for the Sheffield Chamber Players: violinist Sasha Callahan and cellist Leo Eguchi share a household, while violist Alexander Vavilov is joined by special guest (and spouse) Olga Talroze, pianist.

The program will feature the program will feature music that we turn to in times of crisis, including works by J.S. Bach, Gabriel Fauré, Hugo Wolf, Max Bruch and Paul Hindemith. Also featured are a touching new work by local composer Tom Schnauber and some delightful short sketches by Kenji Bunch. As with all “If Music Could Talk” events, there will be some discussion about the music and you’ll have the chance to ask questions (by online submission).

Access credentials to Zoom will be emailed approximately 30 minutes before the program starts.
