RCP presents a poetically-inspired concert, featuring the vocal talents of Christine Brandes.
We begin with Argento's Elizabethan Songs - modern music set to texts by Shakespeare and contemporaries - and end on a lively note with Schubert's Trout Quintet.

As a special opportunity, join the musicians for From Trout to Trout, a dinner at Bistro Bordeaux, following the concert.


Concert II -- Masterful Bach
Peter Van De Graff, Amy Conn, guest soloists
December 4, 2011 - 4:00 PM - Alice Millar Chapel, Evanston

Celebrate the holiday season with the Baroque masters!  Bach's quirky Coffee Cantata will delight caffeine lovers, and his gorgeous Concerto for Oboe and Violin featuring Yuan-Qing Yu will be sure to put you in a mood for dancing.

J.S. Bach Coffee Cantata BWV #209
J.S. Bach Arias from the Wedding Cantata BWV #202
J.C. Bach Concerto for oboe, cello, and strings
J.S. Bach Concerto for violin, oboe, and strings in C minor


Concert III -- Pas de Trois
March 4, 2012 - 7:30 PM - Music Institute of Chicago, Evanston
March 5, 2012 - 7:30 PM - Driehaus Museum, Chicago

We begin this concert with a salute to Sir Malcolm Arnold, who died in 2006.  His light but exciting Suite Bourgeois features three dance movements, and pairs perfectly with the elegant impressionistic sounds of Debussy and Ravel.  Don’t miss this opportunity to hear some of the most beautiful music of early 20th century France.

Arnold Suite Bourgeois for flute, oboe, and piano
Debussy Trio for flute, viola, and harp
Ravel Trio for piano, violin, and cello

This concert will also feature the winners of the 2012 High School Chamber Music Competition.


Concert IV -- Timeless Tales
Barbara Robertson and Aaron Freeman, guest narrators
May 13, 2012 - 3:00 PM - Music Institute of Chicago, Evanston

As the highlight of our 22nd concert season, RCP presents Stravinsky's 1918 Histoire du Soldat, a story of a WWI soldier and a conniving devil, brilliantly narrated by Barbara Robertson.  We move from the modernist style of Stravinsky to Wynton Marsallis's masterful jazz reinterpretation with modern urban narration by Aaron Freeman.  We welcome Chris Martin, CSO’s Principal Trumpet, plus several of his distinguished colleagues as we present this unique Chicago musical event.
