Few things in our fractured world bring us together quite like music, connecting us with our shared humanity across borders and time.
Premiered by Clara Schumann in 1861 and famous for its fiery “Rondo alla Zingarese” finale, Brahms’s youthful and exuberant Piano Quartet in G Minor transports us to both Brahms’s youth (he was just 23 when he started composing it) and to Hungary with its folk inspiration. Two soaring solo works by Austrian American composer Fritz Kreisler magically take us to Vienna in the hands of virtuoso violinist and CMNW Protégé Alumnus Claire Wells. This program even spans the mightiest oceans with a new CMNW-commissioned premiere by Donghoon Shin, whose music encompasses influences of both his Korean heritage and his London home. Don’t miss this U.S. premiere featuring renowned mezzo-soprano Jennifer Johnson Cano.
6:30 PM | Reser lobby Prelude Performance with local students
Sponsored by Terwilliger Plaza.
Donghoon Shin’s Sonnets to Orpheus was co-commissioned by Chamber Music Northwest, Istanbul Music Festival, Sejong Soloists, and Wigmore Hall
