Chicago Chamber Musicians' entire resident ensemble -- made up of 13 renowned wind, brass, string and piano players -- performs at this special 25th-anniversary season finale, which kicks off with an essential piece from their repertoire: the original chamber-music version of Wagner's Siegfried Idyll. The symphonic love poem was an 1870 Christmas gift to the composer's beloved wife Cosima. John Stevens explores the seasons in his 1986 symphony for brass quintet, and the concert concludes with Brahms' lyrical Serenade No. 1.

Description

CCM concludes its Signature Series season with a program that features every ensemble artist. Wagner's intimate and emotional symphonic poem, Siegfried Idyll, was originally written for the composer's wife's birthday. John Stevens' rich and cyclical work for brass quintet depicts the seasons musically in four movements. Brahms' Serenade No. 1 is better known in its adopted orchestral version, but this is an opportunity to hear the beautiful and lyrical work in the chamber ensemble form for which it was originally composed.

Program:
Wagner: Siegfried Idyll
John Stevens: Seasons, a Symphony for Brass Quintet
Brahms: Serenade No. 1 in D Major, Op. 11
