Chamber Music can simply, and most aptly, described as “the music of friends”.

In between the sacred music of the Medieval Era to the contemporary concert halls
seating hundreds of listeners, was the nineteenth century idea of the Salon; amateur
and professional musicians alike gathering in the home to share an evening of music
and camaraderie. It is not out of the realm of imagination to envision an evening of
chamber music at the turn of the 20th century in the historic Bush House.

The Vista Piano Quartet is thrilled to take you on a journey back to that time, with a
twist. Our program consists of nineteenth and early twentieth century works which
would have been the new music of the time. While Schumann or Brahms may
immediately come to mind, we have chosen a different path for this recital.

The number of compositions by women of that, or any era, goes largely unrecognized and
undoubtedly underperformed. It is our aim to shed a ray of light on four highly skilled
and respected composers/musicians of that time whose names and accomplishments
have been nearly lost to history. We’ll present selections from Elfrida Andree,Mel Bonis,
Dora Pejacsevich, and Luise Aldolpha Le Beau in hopes their names will someday
become standards of the musical canon.

We look forward to sharing an evening of music, a little history and friendship with you.
