The Marlbrook Chamber Players will present “Obsessions: Ghosts of the Past” on Sunday, Nov. 5, at 3 p.m. in Wilson Concert Hall at Washington and Lee University.
The Players will explore masterworks of chamber music with themes of tragedy and the macabrel.
The program features Ysaye’s passionate second solo sonata for violin “The Obsession,” incorporating Bach’s lighthearted passages and the dramatic “Dies Irae.” The Beethoven Ghost trio follows, believed to represent a ghost’s conversation with mourners. The program culminates with Shostakovich’s Piano Trio No. 2, a haunting work for violin, cello, and piano that mourns the horrific treatment of the Jewish people during World War II.
