Our concert Adaptation highlights the many ways artists respond to shifting personal circumstances, changing cultural landscapes, and evolving musical traditions. From the fiery virtuosity of Joan Tower’s Wings for solo clarinet to the playful intimacy of Jessie Montgomery’s Duo for Violin and Cello, each work reflects resilience through masterful creative expression. The program features a world premiere by Ben Dorfan, alongside the youthful brilliance of Lili Boulanger’s D’un matin de printemps and the passionate romanticism of Robert Schumann’s landmark Piano Quartet. Join us for an unparalleled and vibrant evening of chamber music that celebrates adaptation as a timeless artistic force!
