Pianist Gilles Vonsattel opens with Ludwig van Beethoven’s luminous Piano Sonata No. 24 in F-sharp major, Op. 78, a work of lyric intimacy and sparkling vitality. The Candide Quartet follows with Béla Bartók’s String Quartet No. 4, a masterwork of driving rhythms, inventive textures, and bold modernism. After intermission, ZaRiah brings vibrant color to Valerie Coleman’s Suite: Portraits of Josephine, a spirited tribute to Josephine Baker that dances through jazz-age Paris and beyond. The program concludes with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Serenade No. 12 in C minor, K. 388, in a brilliant wind arrangement by Mordechai Rechtman—a work of dramatic intensity and refined interplay. Join us for an evening where pulse meets precision and momentum carries the music forward with brilliance and bold imagination.
