About This Performance

Hailed for “exhilarating performances” (The Times), the Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective currently serves as the Associate Ensemble of London’s Wigmore Hall. KCC’s return to PCMS spotlights the “simply astounding” (The Telegraph) virtuoso horn player Ben Goldscheider in a first half of works by Ethel Smyth and the U.S. premiere of a quintet by GRAMMY-nominated composer Anna Clyne. Following intermission Schubert’s Trout quintet is featured—inspired by and named after the composer’s 1817 song, which tells the story of a trout being caught by an angler. The work was published shortly after the composer’s death and today is considered a cornerstone of chamber music repertoire.

Clyne: Horn Quintet  US Premiere
Smyth: Horn Trio in A Major
Schubert: Quintet in A Major, D. 667, Trout
