FEATURING

Four of today's most acclaimed young chamber musicians—Queen Elisabeth Competition Gold Medalist Stella Chen, Avery Fisher Career Grant recipient Matthew Lipman, Naumburg International Cello Competition Gold Medalist Brannon Cho, and distinguished pianist-composer Michael Stephen Brown—join forces for an afternoon of inspired artistry and scintillating ensemble playing.

​

Their program brings together two of chamber music's supreme masterpieces: Mozart's monumental Divertimento in E-flat major, K. 563—widely regarded as the greatest string trio ever composed—and Dvořák's radiant Piano Quartet No. 2, a work overflowing with lyrical warmth, Bohemian spirit, and exuberant joy.
