JOURNEYS
Music transports us to places we have never been and great composers take us on journeys into our souls and out into the world. Let your imagination soar without ever having to leave your seat!

Exodus
A personal journey of faith and hope that spans centuries of prayer, memory, and the eternal. Newly uncovered arrangements of music from Auschwitz will serve as the counterpoint to the music of Bruch, Mendelssohn, Bloch, Ravel and Golijov.

All In Good Fun
What happens when composers let loose and journey into the world of humor, pranks, and games? The answer is a lot of fun – and some good music too! Join us for a program of lighthearted surprises by Haydn, Mozart, Dohnanyi, Dvorak, and PDQ Bach.

Inspirado en España
Join us in March for a musical journey to Spain and the Spanish Diaspora. Experience the lush but rarely heard string quartet of Venezuelan Romantic-Era composer Teresa Carreño, as well as a duo for cello and piano by Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos. Enjoy Spanish composer Joaquin Turina's piano trio which blends French Impressionism with Andalusian folk elements. Finally, travel with us first class to Argentina with a tango by Astor Piazzola as well as a dynamic and rhythmic string quartet by Alberto Ginastera.

Composing Outside the Box
This program explores works by some of the world’s most famous composers, including Haydn, Puccini, Strauss, and Chopin. The twist is that none of the pieces included on the program (except one) are typical of any other work that particular composer ever created. Three of these great masters wrote many other monumental works outside of the chamber music realm, and one of them invented the most iconic of all chamber music forms. Join us as we explore what happens when creative geniuses go on an unexpected journey and “compose outside of the box!”
