Description: |
Poetica Ensemble at Custer Institute January 2016 at Custer Institute Observatory in Southold, Suffolk County, Long Island New York.
The musicians of the Poetica Ensemble are based on Long Island, but have a long history of performing both nationally and internationally. In its current configuration, the ensemble features Song-A Cho on violin, Christopher Shaughnessy on viola, Stephanie Iovine on cello, and Kenneth Borrmann on clarinet. The group's performance at the Custer Institute will include brilliant and energetic works by Bernhard Henrik Crusell, the most significant and internationally best-known Finnish classical composer before Sibelius, and Czech composer Franz Vincenz Krommer, contemporary of Mozart and Haydn, and strong rival of Beethoven.
