About this Concert

Distinct musical voices and traditions find common ground in this intimate chamber concert for strings and piano, curated by SLSO musicians Hannah Ji and Alejandro Valdepeñas. From the expressive beauty of Ástor Piazzolla’s Oblivion to the rhythmic energy of Wynton Marsalis’ string quartet and the expansive Romanticism of Amy Beach’s piano quintet, the music moves fluidly between contrasting styles and ensembles. Together, these works celebrate chamber music as an art of listening, responding, and finding connection.

- Jazz legend Wynton Marsalis appears in two upcoming programs at Powell Hall. Join us for Jazz at Lincoln Center with Wynton Marsalis (Mar 10) and Marsalis’ Fifth: A Jazz Symphony (Mar 12–14), featuring his new Symphony No. 5, “Liberty.”
- Amy Beach was one of America’s leading composers of the early twentieth century, achieving success at a time when women faced significant barriers in classical music. Her Piano Quintet (1907) is a richly expressive, Brahms-inspired work, featuring a dramatic opening, lyrical slow movement, and fiery finale.
- Composer Ash Schreiber is the recipient of a Sheldon Commission from the University of Missouri’s Mizzou New Music Initiative. This accolade provides rising composers the opportunity to write an original chamber work to be premiered by SLSO musicians at The Sheldon.
