The North Pole Cello Sextet always brings holiday cheer to our stage, this time performing Duke Ellington’s jazzy arrangement of Tchaikovsky’s “Nutcracker Suite.”

mousai REMIX’s performance of the music of Florence Price and Teresa Carreno will be a stunning showcase of the talents of these pioneering female composers, shedding light on their contributions to the development of classical music.

We’re thrilled to be returning to Straub Collaborative for March and April’s concerts! We start with two masterpieces for percussion quartet, performed by the Gemini Project virtuosos. “Pillars” is Andy Akiho’s grammy-nominated tour-de-force, and “Threads” by Paul Lansky challenges traditional notions of what percussion music can be.

Our season continues at Club Straub in April with the Pyxis Quartet’s performance of “Prospects of a Misplaced Year” by Andy Akiho, accompanied by artist Brad Johnson’s visionary artwork, a stunning exploration of geologic time told in music and immersive projection. The program also includes a preview of “The Floods,” a forthcoming collaboration with Brad and 45th Parallel that tells the story of the epic Ice Age Missoula Floods.

Boston-based cellist Leo Eguchi presents UNACCOMPANIED, a performance featuring eight short new works for solo cello which explore personal stories of immigration and American identity. Each of the commissioned works is by immigrant and first-generation American composers tasked with tackling the question, “What does your American-ness sound like?”

We showcase the works of contemporary composer Damien Geter and 19-century composer Louise Farrenc, highlighting the striking contrasts and commonalities between these two exceptional composers.
