Age of Enlightenment: Chicago Chamber Musicians

Over het evenement

Enjoy works by Saint Saëns, Bartok and Schubert in wonderful settings for small and large ensemble with the Chicago Chamber Musicians.

Saint Saëns' uniquely scored Septet will feature Charles Geyer on trumpet and is one of the most delightful chamber works of the 19th century. Jasmine Lin is the soloist in Bartók's Rhapsody No. 2, written in the style of the famous Hungarian folk dance, the Csárdás. The ensemble closes the concert with the beloved Schubert Octet for winds and strings, a work performed on CCM's inaugural concert 25 years ago, which has become a signature piece for the ensemble. Chicago native Wendy Warner returns this season. The New York Times wrote, "Warner's expressive playing and glowing tone were a pleasure."
