Curtis at Main Line Reform Temple
Curtis is excited to return to the Main Line Reform Temple for a special chamber music presentation. The afternoon begins with Chopin’s Mazurkas, Op. 24, showcasing the intimate beauty and poetic depth of these beloved piano miniatures. Following this, Paul Schoenfield’s Trio for Violin, Clarinet, and Piano blends dynamic rhythms with heartfelt lyricism, drawing from a rich tapestry of cultural influences. The program concludes with Jean Françaix’s Wind Quintet No. 1, which dazzles with its lighthearted elegance and spirited interplay among the instruments.
