Chesapeake Music celebrates its 40th Anniversary Chamber Music Festival with one of the most exciting rosters and programs to date!
Discover the virtuosic Sonata in C-sharp Minor for Flute and Piano by Mel Bonis, a prolific French female composer in the early modern period. The Juilliard String Quartet, Catherine Cho, and Marcy Rosen will surprise you in Arnold Schoenberg’s 1899 Verklärte Nacht (“Transfigured Night”), an early tonal string sextet, inspired both by a poem of the same name and Schoenberg’s nascent love for his future wife. The Festival closes with an overlooked masterpiece – the energetic and beautiful Piano Quartet No. 2 in G Minor by French composer Gabriel Fauré.
General Admission tickets are $70; six concerts can be purchased for the price of five through a subscription package ($350). Chesapeake Music also offers a limited number of free tickets for students, music educators, and Talbot County First Responders, as well as a “buy-one-get-one” option for first-time patrons of Chesapeake Music.
