A program of music for winds, strings and piano featuring a remarkable ensemble of musicians. Whether finding new points of resonance and connection in Reena Esmail’s piece, the confidence and ambition in Britten’s early masterpiece, the ebuliance in Damase's Trio, Caroline Shaw’s generous world of sounds, or the energy and spirit of Cambini’s quintet, the works in this program embrace the idea of optimism and forward orientation.

“Livia Sohn … possesses a remarkably lithe and transparent tone of exceptional purity” (Strad Magazine); Kal Sugatski was Mainer of the Year for their work with Vigorous Tenderness and is a fierce advocate for contemporary music; Cuban-American cellist Tommy Mesa won first Prize in the Sphinx Competition and has appeared as soloist with major orchestras including the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl, as well as Cleveland and Philadelphia Orchestras; Julietta Curenton is known for her “tone that draws in one’s ear with sounds and ideas that simply cannot be resisted” (Philadelphia Inquirer); James Austin Smith performs new and old music to rapturous acclaim across the United States and around the world; Jacquelyn Helin is known for her lucid, highly expressive interpretations of a broad range of repertoire.

Join us for this lunch-time celebration of exhilarating music and captivating performers.
