Concert 5

Aura Go, Pianist

The Mary Reid Tribute Concert in association with Musica Viva

In Friendship and Memory explores the intimate world of friendship through music, tracing a personal thread of affection, memory and artistic kinship. Carlos Guastavino’s Mis Amigos is an enchanting set of ten musical portraits of friends, while each of Lili Boulanger’s evocative and poignant Trois Morceaux is dedicated to a dear friend of the composer. Brahms’ Variations on a Theme by Schumann, Op. 9, written during his deep friendship with Robert and Clara Schumann, form a poignant homage to a mentor in decline. Composed within the final six months of Schubert’s life, the Drei Klavierstücke, D. 946 contains music of profound interiority and tenderness. The work was published posthumously by Johannes Brahms in an act of admiration and artistic friendship across time. The rarely heard Six Pieces by neglected Swedish composer Hélène Tham continue the theme of legacy and rediscovery—inventive, expressive miniatures that speak with compelling freshness. Together, these works form a musical tapestry woven from affection, remembrance, and quiet acts of devotion.

We would like to acknowledge the support of Musica Viva for this concert.
