Valley of the Moon Music Festival's 2017 Season kicks off on February 11 with a concert featuring Catherine Manson on violin and viola. Manson, a member of the London Haydn Quartet and Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra, is considered one of the most accomplished period instrumentalists of her generation, with critically acclaimed recordings of Haydn, Bach and Buxtehude. Manson will be joined by clarinetist Eric Hoeprich, cellist Tanya Tomkins and fortepianist Eric Zivian, in a program including Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata and Clarinet Trio, Op. 11; Mozart's Kegelstatt Trio for clarinet, viola and piano; and Haydn's Piano Trio H. XV:23. The Green Music Center will host two more concerts by Valley of the Moon Music Festival musicians. On March 4, internationally renowned lyric tenor Nicholas Phan will be accompanied by Zivian on fortepiano in a program of Schubert's lieder. And on May 13, Boston-based contralto Emily Marvosh will take the stage alongside violist Jodi Levitz and Zivian in Brahms' Two Songs for alto, viola and piano. Also on the program is Brahms' Horn Trio featuring Sadie Glass on the natural horn, Ian Swensen on violin and Zivian on fortepiano. The concert concludes with Brahms' Piano Quartet in G Minor with violinist Bettina Mussumeli joining Levitz, Tomkins and Zivian.
