(SEWELL, NJ) -- Music at Bunker Hill presents its final Season 14 concert on June 12, 2022 at 3:00pm - the long-anticipated Trout Quintet, rescheduled after its cancellation in spring 2020. Schubert’s beloved Quintet in A major, D. 667 “Trout” will be performed by Eugene Drucker, violin; William Frampton, viola; Roberta Cooper, cello; Timothy Cobb, bass; and Gili Melamed-Lev, piano. This quintet is nicknamed “Trout” because movement four is a set of variations on Schubert’s earlier lied “Die Forelle.”
New to the Music at Bunker Hill stage is Susannah Woodruff, mezzo-soprano, who will sing three of Beethoven’s Irish Songs. Woodruff will also sing Drucker’s “Of Troubled Times,” which puts Music at Bunker Hill in the unique position of presenting music by a living composer who will also be performing. Violinist Eugene Drucker, a founding member of the Grammy winning Emerson String Quartet, is performer, composer, and author.
Repertoire: Beethoven: Irish Songs; Drucker: Of Troubled Times; Beethoven: String Trio in G Major, Op. 9, no. 1; Schubert: Quintet in A major, D. 667 “Trout”
Music at Bunker Hill’s 2021-22 Season has featured celebrated classical musicians from near and far, with a return to indoor in-person concerts in October 2021. Performers have remarked how much they missed performing for in-person audiences when venues were shut down. The musicians feel a certain energy from a live audience that is missing when they perform for a camera.
The concert will be held at Bunker Hill Presbyterian Church at 330 Greentree Road, Sewell, New Jersey. Tickets are $12 for students and $28 for adults and seniors. Tickets are available for purchase online. In keeping with safety guidelines, capacity has been capped at 50%, and proof of vaccine and booster must be shown. Masks are required. A livestream will be available to all ticket holders for one week after the concert.
This program is made possible by funds from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts and the Gloucester County Cultural and Heritage Commission.
