SUMMARY:Valley Music Series Presents Chamber Music with Adam Grabois and Margarita Nuller - An Afternoon of Chopin\, Boulanger and Franck
DESCRIPTION:A Place for You in the Music\n\nNovember 15\, 2026 3 PM Brookfield\n\n\n\nCellist Adam Grabois and pianist Margarita Nuller explore virtuosity\, intimacy and transformation in a distinguished chamber music program.\n\n \n\nThe Valley Music Series welcomes cellist Adam Grabois and pianist Margarita Nuller for an afternoon of extraordinary chamber music on Sunday\, November 15\, 2026\, at 3:00 p.m. at Valley Presbyterian Church\, 21 West Whisconier Road\, Brookfield.\n\nYou're invited! Doors open at 2:30 PM. The concert is free and open to the public with a suggested donation of $20 gratefully accepted at the door. After the concert\, Valley will present an afterglow a reception for everyone to meet the artists and friends of the Valley Music Series. Parking is free\, and the building is fully wheelchair accessible.\n\n____________________\n\nBringing together music of Fr d ric Chopin\, Nadia Boulanger and C sar Franck\, the program traces nearly a century of European musical imagination from the elegance and brilliance of Romantic Warsaw and Paris to the concentrated colors of twentieth-century France.\n\nAt its heart is one of chamber music's most compelling relationships: two instruments capable of speaking independently\, yet transformed through listening to one another.\n\nThe afternoon opens with Chopin's youthful Introduction and Polonaise brillante in C major\, Op. 3\, music alive with virtuoso flair\, aristocratic gesture and the unmistakable rhythmic character of the Polish polonaise. It is followed by the composer's Cello Sonata in G minor\, Op. 65\, one of the final works published during his lifetime and among the most searching creations of his late period. Heard together\, the two works offer a rare portrait of Chopin across the span of his artistic life from the exhilaration of youth to the concentrated expression of maturity.\n\nFollowing intermission\, the program turns to Nadia Boulanger\, one of the most influential musical figures of the twentieth century. Celebrated internationally as the teacher of generations of composers and musicians\, Boulanger was also a composer of striking refinement. Her Trois pi ces pour violoncelle et piano reveal that less frequently encountered voice: intimate\, beautifully proportioned music in which harmonic color\, lyricism and rhythmic vitality are distilled with remarkable economy.\n\nThe program culminates in C sar Franck's Sonata in A major\, one of the defining chamber works of the late Romantic era. Originally composed in 1886 for violin and piano and subsequently authorized by Franck in its celebrated cello arrangement\, the Sonata unfolds through an ingenious architecture of musical memory: themes return\, evolve and acquire new meaning until the work reaches its radiant conclusion.\n\nFor this performance\, that repertoire is entrusted to two musicians whose careers have been shaped by a deep commitment to chamber music.\n\nTogether\, Grabois and Nuller bring to the Valley Music Series an afternoon conceived on an intimate scale but encompassing an extraordinary expressive landscape. From Chopin's youthful brilliance to the searching voice of his final years\, from Boulanger's concentrated modernity to Franck's great architecture of memory\, this is music that asks us to listen closely and rewards that attention with worlds of feeling.\n\n____________________ \n\nPROGRAM INFO:\n\nFr d ric Chopin\n\nIntroduction and Polonaise brillante in C major\, Op. 3/Cello Sonata in G minor\, Op. 65\n\nNadia Boulanger\n\nTrois pi ces pour violoncelle et piano\n\nC sar Franck\n\nSonata in A major\n\n____________________\n\nABOUT VALLEY MUSIC SERIES:The Valley Music Series brings accomplished artists and thoughtfully curated programs to Western Connecticut\, creating opportunities for audiences to encounter exceptional music in an intimate setting.

\n\nBringing together music of Fré\;dé\;ric Chopin\, Nadia Boulanger and Cé\;sar Franck\, the program traces nearly a century of European musical imagination from the elegance and brilliance of Romantic Warsaw and Paris to the concentrated colors of twentieth-century France.
\n\nAt its heart is one of chamber music&rsquo\;s most compelling relationships: two instruments capable of speaking independently\, yet transformed through listening to one another.
\n\nThe afternoon opens with Chopin&rsquo\;s youthful Introduction and Polonaise brillante in C major\, Op. 3\, music alive with virtuoso flair\, aristocratic gesture and the unmistakable rhythmic character of the Polish polonaise. It is followed by the composer&rsquo\;s Cello Sonata in G minor\, Op. 65\, one of the final works published during his lifetime and among the most searching creations of his late period. Heard together\, the two works offer a rare portrait of Chopin across the span of his artistic life&mdash\;from the exhilaration of youth to the concentrated expression of maturity.
\n\nFollowing intermission\, the program turns to Nadia Boulanger\, one of the most influential musical figures of the twentieth century. Celebrated internationally as the teacher of generations of composers and musicians\, Boulanger was also a composer of striking refinement. Her Trois piè\;ces pour violoncelle et piano reveal that less frequently encountered voice: intimate\, beautifully proportioned music in which harmonic color\, lyricism and rhythmic vitality are distilled with remarkable economy.

\n\nFor this performance\, that repertoire is entrusted to two musicians whose careers have been shaped by a deep commitment to chamber music.
\n\nTogether\, Grabois and Nuller bring to the Valley Music Series an afternoon conceived on an intimate scale but encompassing an extraordinary expressive landscape. \;From Chopin&rsquo\;s youthful brilliance to the searching voice of his final years\, from Boulanger&rsquo\;s concentrated modernity to Franck&rsquo\;s great architecture of memory\, this is music that asks us to listen closely and rewards that attention with worlds of feeling.
