Timeless melodies and transformative storytelling converge in Chamber Music City’s most ambitious concert yet. Tabla virtuoso Sandeep Das and violinist Christina McGann ignite Reena Esmail’s BLAZE, fusing Indian and Western sounds in a fiery rhythmic dialogue. Harpist Bridget Kibbey and McGann shine in Saint-Saëns’ FANTAISIE before Christopher Cerrone’s NEW ADDRESSES transports listeners to a haunting sonic landscape. The evening culminates with soprano Ariadne Greif bringing new life to Luciano Berio’s rarely performed FOLK SONGS cycle, a visionary blend of American, Asian, and European folk traditions with contemporary textures. Featuring nine world-class musicians, Folk Songs & Fantasy invites you to witness global traditions reimagined in virtuosic splendor. Don’t miss this intimate celebration of passion, wonder, and the unifying power of music!
