Midsummer’s Music Festival Presents “Romantic Connection”

Midsummer’s Music Festival wraps up the first part of its season with a concert featuring music from Thomas Dunhill and Robert Schumann.

Midsummer’s Romantic Connection program focuses on quintets from the two composers. Dunhill composed the Quintet in E-Flat Major, Op. 3 in 1898 as the result of a competition for a cash prize. Noted for its extroverted, exuberant character, Schumann’s Piano Quintet in E-Flat Major, Op. 44 is considered one of his finest compositions and a major work of nineteenth-century chamber music. The concert is at 3 pm on July 23 at Prince of Peace Church. A reception will follow the concert, where audience members can meet and mingle with the musicians.

Tickets for the performance is $29 for adults and $10 for students. Youth 12 and under are free.
