2026 Summer Residency
- Sunday, July 12, 2026 at 3:00 PM — Dvořák’s Quintet in A Major
The concert begins with Mozart’s Trio in E major, a graceful and lyrical work highlighting his gift for chamber music. From there, the program moves to the Sonata for Violin and Piano by Maurice Ravel, the great French composer of the early 20th century, whose music shimmers with color and atmosphere. American composer George Gershwin brings jazz into the concert hall with his Three Preludes, heard here in a dazzling violin arrangement by Jascha Heifetz, one of the most celebrated violinists of the 20th century. The concert closes with the youthful Piano Quintet in A major by Czech composer Antonín Dvořák, written when he was just 20 years old and filled with the warmth, lyricism, and Bohemian spirit that would define his music.
