Music can transport us through time, yet it is forever tied to its moment of creation. The 61st Sarasota Music Festival begins with an epic 300-year musical adventure. Hear the 18th-century tune people whistled in the streets that found its way into Beethoven’s Fourth Piano Trio. Nicolas Namoradze makes his Festival debut with Bach’s Prelude and Fugue from the landmark Well-Tempered Clavier. Leap 150 years ahead to Scriabin’s lush, late-Romantic Sonata, and fast-forward another century for Namoradze’s own arrangement of Ravel’s ballet music. Jeffrey Kahane joins Namoradze for Schubert’s sparkling rondo, written in the composer’s final year.
