Composers will always be attracted to an intimate orchestral sound. at At the early summer event of its Concertino series, the BFO will justify this contention with compositions from three distinct periods of music history. The program, with which the season comes to a close, will be framed by two arrangements of poems. In Summer Night, arguably his most popular instrumental work, Swiss composer Othmar Schoeck reacted to the cataclysm of World War II with a message of solidarity. Probably Schubert’s most effective chamber piece, the String Quartet in D minor, offers insight into the concept of death in the Romantic mind. Between the two works, the audience will be treated to a performance of Mozart’s only concerto composed from the outset for the flute. When one hears a piece of such charm, it can be difficult to believe that Mozart himself was not fond of the instrument. The soloist will be Gabriella Pivon, a prominent member of the orchestra, with the ensemble led by concertmaster Daniel Bard, a passionate advocate of chamber music performance.
