Listen to Paul Huang

Four acclaimed musicians join together in a powerful program meditating on time, loss, and hope. Bela Kovacs’ Sholem Alekhem, rov Feidman! is a vibrant clarinet homage to klezmer song and spirit, laughter edged with lament. It casts light on the echoes that follow, reminding us that even in the face of ruin, sound endures. Shostakovich’s Piano Trio No. 2, written amid war and loss, spins a ghostly klezmer dance: ironic, grief-stricken, unforgiving. Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time, born in a prison camp, reaches beyond suffering toward eternity, where time dissolves into silence and praise. These works are fragments of memory, breath, and belief; resonating through the stillness that time leaves behind.

Program:
Dmitri Shostakovich – Piano Trio No. 2 in E Minor
Bela Kovacs – Sholem-Alekhem, rov Feidman!
Olivier Messiaen – Quartet for the End of Time
