Schubert's "Shepherd on the Rock"
Free Summertime Concert

We present to you Schubert's bittersweet Liede "Shepherd on the Rock" with soprano Angelynne Hinson, pianist Mary Towse-Beck, and clarinetist Karen Luttik. Cellist Dorothy Braker joins them for more romantic offerings including

  • Schumann Fantasy Pieces featuring both cello and clarinet
  • Beethoven Piano, Clarinet, and Violoncello trio
  • Bartok Hungarian Dances
  • Immer Kleiner (Always Smaller) Adolf Schreiner
  • Rota Trio



"Shepherd on the Rock" was composed by Schubert in the last months of his life and published a year and a half after his death (Schubert died when he was only 31). This tender and eloquent Lied depicts a lonely shepherd listening to the echoes rising up from the bottom of his mountain top. He then expresses his intense grief in his loneliness, but ends in anticipation of the coming of spring and its hope of rebirth.

Free will offering will be gratefully accepted.
