Subtle beauty meets brash exuberance in this concert that brings together an audience favorite, Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony, with two rarities. Chabrier’s Spanish-inflected Habanera introduces an intriguing showpiece for the violin’s more modest sister, the viola. You’ll enjoy hearing the music of Rebecca Clarke, one of America’s little-known treasures.
