March's concerts are dedicated to the sheer joy of chamber music from Pezel's Baroque splendor, to Mozart's Classical beauty to Dvorák's Romantic second Piano Quartet. A CCM debut, Dvorák's lyrical quartet is an unjustly neglected masterpiece that never fails to bring audiences to their feet. Combined with the thrilling brilliance of 17th century brass and Mozart's effortless genius, the program brings spring into the concert hall (whatever the weather will be!).

THE CHARM:
Cavalli cleverly mixed the myth of Jason and the Argonauts with bawdy humor, breaking all the operatic rules of the day. The result: Giasone became the most popular opera of the 17th century because of its appeal to the aristocracy and everyday people alike.
THE CHOICE:
Despite its stature in the operatic repertoire, this is the first time Giasone will be performed by a professional opera company in Chicago. Chicago Opera Theater continues its mission of bringing never-performed-here works to this city.

Is New Art Music a cyborg? Technology - from creative amplification to interactive computer soundscapes - brings new strength to the most human of expressions. This program spins haunting moods from three turntables, unexpected percussion instruments, and urban rap embedded in a cushion of strings, blending roots and the never-before imagined.

The Chicago Fluxus Ensemble, led by original Fluxus artist Simon Anderson, will stage performance pieces throughout the building before the concert; arrive early for a jolt of the unexpected!

Schumann: Piano Quintet in E-flat Major, Op. 44
Brahms: Trio in A minor, Op. 114
Bartók: String Qurtet No. 3 in C-sharp Major, Sz. 85

CCM concludes the 2009-2010 subscription series on the eve of Robert Schumann's 200th birthday (born June 8, 1810) with the CCM debut performance of Schumann's Piano Quintet in E-Flat Major, Op. 44 - one of the most famous piano quintets in the canon. Brahms, Schumann's protégé, was inspired to write his clarinet trio by the virtuosity of clarinetist Richard Mühlfeld (to be performed by CCM's own Larry Combs). Bartók's third String Quartet rounds out the program with its volatile high spirits and palpable desolation - a fitting tribute to the genius and madness of Robert Schumann.

Featured CCM artists include Larry Combs, clarinet; Joseph Genualdi, violin; Jasmine Lin, violin; Rami Solomonow, viola; Meng-Chieh Liu, piano.
