Windham Chamber Music Festival: Musical Excerpts

MUSICAL EXCERPTS The Windham Performing Arts Center, also known as the Center Church or Civic Center, is praised by musicians and audience alike for its extraordinary acoustics and intimate warm ambience. The 260-seat hall, which seats a maximum of 200 downstairs and 60 in the cushioned balcony area, has been described as an architectural and acoustical gem. These brief performance excerpts, taken from recordings made by Wayne Hileman and Richard Price of Candlewood Digital and Gregory Squires of Squires Productions, give an indication of the musicianship of the festival performers and the special warmth of this historic building. 2013 Performances Vaughn Williams: Five Variants on Dives and Lazarus Shostakovich: Piano Concerto no. 1, Fourth Movement (Allegro con brio) 2012 Performances Haydn: Symphony no. 88, First Movement Schumann: Violin Concerto, Second Movement 2012 New England Summer Festivals Broadcast, WGBH Boston A Special Hour-long Broadcast Featuring WCMF 2011 Performances Copland: Concerto for Clarinet, Strings, Harp and Piano Ravel: Ma Mere L'Oye (Mother Goose Suite) 2010 Performances Dvorak: Silent Woods for Cello and Orchestra Haydn: Piano Concerto no. 11 in D Major 2009 Performances Handel: "Entrance of the Queen of Sheba," from Solomon Dompierre: Les Beautés du Diable 2008 Performances Tchaikovksy: Souvenir of Florence Grieg: "The First Morning" from Two Melodies, op. 53 2007 Performances Mozart: Piano Concerto no. 23 Puccini: "O mio babbino caro" from Gianni Schicchi 2006 Performances Britten: Simple Symphony Mendelssohn: Concerto for Violin, Piano & Strings in D Minor 2005 Performances Mozart: Concerto in C Major for Flute & Harp, K.299 Ravel: Tzigane for Violin & Piano 2004 Performances Vivaldi: Concerto in G Minor for 2 Cellos & Strings Finzi: Romance for String Orchestra 2003 Performances Dvorak: Serenade for Strings Copland: Quiet City 2002 Performances Grieg: Holberg Suite Tchaikovsky: Serenade for Strings 2001 Performances Saint-Saëns: Fantasie for Violin & Harp. op. 124 Elgar: Serenade for Strings, op. 20 2000 Performances Liszt: Mephisto Waltz no. 3 Manno: Petit Voyage en Nostalgie (1994) 1999 Performances Bach: Concerto in D Minor for 2 Violins & Strings (Largo ma non tanto) Wagner: Siegfried Idyll
