Join us for a journey across time and style, where familiar masterpieces are reimagined and set alongside bold new voices, with pianists Beverly Smoker, Bonnie Choi, and Kevin Nitsch.
From Bach’s deeply spiritual Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit and lyrical chorale transcriptions to the sparkling brilliance of Mozart’s Sonata in C Major and Mendelssohn’s exuberant Andante and Allegro Brillante, the program highlights the beauty of dialogue between tradition and transformation. Closing with Tal Zilber’s playful Brahms in Salsa, these works together create a colorful soundscape that bridges centuries, genres, and cultures.
