Pre-concert Talks Wes Blomster, Boulder Daily Camera Betsy Schwarm, formerly of KVOD radio Marc Shulgold, Rocky Mountain News Free Concerts! Saturday September 18, 2004, 12 noon Boettcher Concert Hall String quartets and arias of Verdi and Puccini, with Opera Colorado singers Guiseppi Verdi and Giacomo Puccini are best known as opera composers. But both composers wrote gorgeous music for string quartet. Verdi’s quartet was composed when he was almost sixty, and under unexpected circumstances. In the winter of 1873, Verdi was in Naples for rehearsals of two operas, Don Carlos and Aida. The lead soprano fell ill, and Verdi suddenly had time available when rehearsals were postponed. The result was his beautifully crafted E minor string quartet. Puccini’s sorrowful “Crisantemi” or “Elegy” was written in 1890 as a memorial elegy, and he later recycled the work as an intermezzo in the opera Manon Lescaut. The Colorado Chamber Players will alternate the string quartets with arias from the opera repertoire, as they perform a free concert at the Performing Arts Festival, with talented singers from Opera Colorado. Sunday October 17, 2004, 4pm Boulder Public Library Auditorium Debussy’s Legacy The CCP gives back to the community in a free concert on Sunday October 17, 4p.m., at the Boulder Public Library Auditorium. "Debussy’s Legacy" will feature sumptuous works for flute, viola and harp by Debussy, Bax, Clarke and Richard Rodney Bennett.
