After Spring Sunset: A Tribute to Peter Schickele celebrates Schickele’s versatility as a composer. In the first half, the Callisto String Quartet performs Schickele’s Fifth String Quartet, “A Year in the Country” (commissioned by Maverick Concerts, 1998), and a rarely-performed P.D.Q. Bach work, the “Moose” Quartet.
Post-intermission, Jay Ungar and Molly Mason join the M Shanghai String Band and special guests for a “movement” from a Schickele bluegrass concerto; Elizabeth Mitchell sings a piece written for Joan Baez; mezzos Hai-Ting Chinn and Michele Eaton, tenors Wesley Chinn and Greg Purnhagen perform well-loved P.D.Q. Bach vocal pieces; and Schickele friends and family play more selections from Schickele’s popular and classical music oeuvre.
Woodstock’s very own Marc Black will make a special appearance at both concerts, performing “Tyrannosaurus Rex,” a song he recorded with Schickele.
This event is sponsored in part with support from the Kvistad Foundation.
