| Mad Rush | Philip Glass (1937 - ) |
| Gulliver Poole, Piano | |
| A change of pace from what I and many others usually perform at the con, this is a piece that is very close to my heart. I have performed Mad Rush many times, but never in a hall like Hanson Dyer. This piece has grown and changed with me, always serving as something of a reflective meditation, and I would like to share the profundity that I find in this piece with an audience that might be somewhat apprehensive towards minimalist composition. | |

| I. Allegro | |
| Timothy O\\\\\\\'Malley, Piano | |
| Alice Hurwood (Cello) Georgia White (Clarinet) | |
| The clarinet quintet, in Brahms' late period features beautiful melodic lines evoking the sense of unending melody and Brahms' hallmark rhythmic displacement. | |
| Piano Sonata No.2 in G minor | Robert Schumann (1810 - 1856) |
| II. Andantino | |
| Nuo Chen, Piano | |
| This sonata, consisted of four movements, was composed from 1833 to 1835. Schumann not only wrote 'Andantino',but also wrote 'Getragen' below this tempo marking. The literal meaning is 'to worn'. Here, it could be taken as 'solemn and dignified'. | |
