One of the country’s very finest violinists, our own David Perry, brings us one of the great orchestral solo works, Ernest Chausson’s Poème, in a special chamber music version the composer himself created. David’s colleague in the Pro Arte Quartet, violist Sally Chisholm, introduces the program with Turina’s evocative Scène Andalouse. This French/Spanish flavored program culminates with Fauré’s brilliant masterpiece, the Piano Quartet No. 1 joined by pianist Jeannie Yu. A star-embedded program!
