Johannes Brahms’ first string quintet adds the touch of strings, or “Spring,” as it was dubbed due to its sunny cheerfulness, to an evening of particular delight for chamber music lovers. CCM BRASS shines in Verne Reynolds’ gorgeous suite. Antonin Dvorak’s first major success – his Slavonic Dances for piano duet – is felicitously adapted for winds and double bass. The North American premiere of Avner Dorman’s Jerusalem Mix is a wind and piano collage of Christian, Jewish, and Muslim musical traditions co-commissioned by CCM and the Jerusalem Chamber Music Festival.
