Winter Winds
2025-02-23 14:00 (America/New_York) | Mountain View Grand Resort & Spa, 101 Mountain View Road, Whitefield, NH, 03598
Come celebrate Winterlude 2025 with the North Country Chamber Players as they debut a new concert space with a program that illuminates the beauty and versatility of woodwinds and brass instruments over three centuries. Beethoven’s magnificent Quintet for piano and winds was one of his own signature pieces as a performer and, during the past 47 seasons, it has become one of the Chamber Players’ important signature pieces, as well. Inspired by Mozart’s work, composed only ten years earlier, for the same combination, the young, pre-symphonic Beethoven infused this piece with his own singular personality, featuring some of the thrilling, rhapsodic and often humorous qualities that marked many of his subsequent works. The French Romantic composer, Paul Taffanel, won an important composition competition with his Woodwind Quintet in 1876, a work that was praised for its elegant melodies, rhythmic drive, brilliant virtuosity and compelling timbral combinations. Harvard-trained Randall Thompson’s charming, neoclassical Suite for oboe, clarinet and viola, will round out this uplifting afternoon.
The North Country Chamber Players have adopted a “Pay-What-You-Wish” ticket pricing for concerts. Seating is limited, so attendees are asked to make free online reservations.The recommended ticket price is $25, payable at the door, but there is no minimum ticket price required for entry.

Summer Romance, Part 1
2025-07-12 16:00 | Sugar Hill Meeting House, 1411 Route 117, Sugar Hill, NH, 03580
Robert SCHUMANN Piano Quintet in Eb and Camille SAINT SAENS Septet for piano, trumpet and strings
Few romances in music history, if any, have come close to producing as many important works as that of Robert and Clara Wieck Schumann. Clara, one of the greatest pianists of her time, was the beneficiary of Robert’s wild five days of inspiration, in the fall of 1842, when he penned the first Romantic Piano Quintet. This masterpiece would serve as a model for Brahms, Dvorak and Franck. Part concerto, part chamber work, the piece is at once bold, dramatic, brilliant and expressive.

The North Country Chamber Players have adopted a “Pay-What-You-Wish” ticket pricing for concerts. Seating is limited, so attendees are asked to make free online reservations.The recommended ticket price is $25, payable at the door, but there is no minimum ticket price required for entry.

Better Than Beethoven
2025-08-02 16:00, 2025-08-03 16:00 | Dow Pavilion, 150 Academy Street, Franconia, NH, 03580
Ludwig von BEETHOVEN Piano Trio No. 1 in Eb and Louis SPOHR Grand Nonet in F
Though they were not close friends, Beethoven and Louis Spohr had a relationship marked by mutual respect and professional interaction. Spohr admired Beethoven’s early works and championed pieces like the Op. 18 String Quartets. During their lifetimes, many considered Spohr to be Beethoven’s equal, if not his superior. Spohr eventually became critical of Beethoven’s late works, especially the Ninth Symphony and the late string quartets, finding them overly complex. He was not alone in his critiques but, 200 years later, conventional wisdom has decided otherwise.

Johannes BRAHMS String Sextet No. 2 in G and Richard STRAUSS Sextet from ‘Capriccio’
Brahms’s G Major Sextet stands as a pinnacle of his chamber music output, universally admired for its emotional depth, haunting mysterious beauty and an unrivaled rich string sonority. The work is tinged with a bittersweet tone, partly inspired by Brahms’ failed romance with Agathe von Siebold, whose name is encoded in the first movement with the notes AG-A-H-E.
