CMS of Lincoln Center: Extraordinary Imaginations

Diverse in origin and expression, Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center presents a program that offers audiences the opportunity to dive deeper into chamber music of the early 20th century, with new sounds and divergent compositional influences that helped shape contemporary chamber music.

In the works of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor—one of the most renowned composers of his time—and Reynaldo Hahn, we hear genius at work. Known primarily as a violin virtuoso, Eugène Ysaÿe created music that is now regarded as pioneering. And in the piano quintet of the Swiss-American Ernest Bloch, we find one of the most skillful, inventive, and riveting examples of the genre ever created.

Artists:
GLORIA CHIEN, Piano
KRISTIN LEE, Violin
JAMES THOMPSON, Violin
YURA LEE, Viola
DMITRI ATAPINE, Cello

COLERIDGE-TAYLOR Four African Dances for Violin and Piano, Op. 58 (1904)
