THE PENDER HARBOUR CHAMBER MUSIC FESTIVAL WORDS | THERESA KISHKAN T he third weekend in August marks the high point of summer for music lovers. This year’s 14th Pender Harbour Chamber Music Festival celebrates an intimate and warm conversation among musicians, among strings and bows and ivory keys, the human voice, audience members, and the complex alchemy of these things in a particular place: the School of Music in Madeira Park in its gracious setting. Think how dappled light and the lingering notes of a string quartet provoke rich response. Or how there is a moment of silence when the music ends while an audience collectively takes a breath before applause. As the great cellist Pablo Casals observed, “Music is the divine way to tell beautiful, poetic things to the heart.” The Festival opens August 17 with a free afternoon concert, “Til the Stars Fade from Above,” featuring this year’s Rising Tide, young and talented musicians playing selections from John Dowland’s sweet airs to Stephen Sondheim. Sarah Poon will play cello and viola da gamba, pianist David Poon will also bring a harpsichord to the stage, and two singers—soprano Lucy Smith and baritone Jacob Gramit—will join them. That evening, “A Higher Revelation” comes in the form of a lyrical Beethoven string quartet performed by the celebrated Lafayette String Quartet (violinists Ann Elliott-Goldschmid and Sharon Stanis, violist Joanna Hood, and cellist Pamela Highbaugh Aloni) and a Brahms piano quartet performed by violinist David Gillham, violist Yariv Aloni, cellist Brian Yoon, and pianist (and Festival Artistic Director) Alexander Tselyakov. The Festival cohort is complete when clarinetist Jenny Jonquil joins them on Saturday, August 18. The afternoon concert, “Shall We Dance?” explores a wide range of music from Haydn and Poulenc to the gorgeous tangos of Astor Piazzolla, with the late addition of Debussy’s “Clair de Lune.” Later that evening, the audience will experience “Two Views of Sunset,” a stunning program of pieces by Bruch, Menotti, and Schubert, concluding with the fiery String Quartet No.12 in D flat Major, Opus 16, by Dmitri Shostakovich. The grand closing will come on Sunday afternoon with “Make a Joyful Sound,” compositions by Mozart, Crusell, and Ernst von Dohnányi filling the venue overlooking the harbour with beautiful and memorable music. Alchemy, yes, and the hard work of our volunteers, the generosity of our Friends of the Festival and host families; their support makes this weekend of music possible.
