Homage to Great Artists — CMSFW Ensemble featuring piano quintets, the ultimate rivalry

Experience the unique, explosive dynamic of the powerful grand piano versus the tight-knit expressive string quartet in these modern piano quintets, featuring Baya Kakouberi, piano; Gary Levinson, violin; Aleksandr Snytkin, violin; D.J. Cheek, viola; and Edward Arron, cello.

“I had always wanted to write a piano quintet because I’ve written six string quartets and a lot of works for piano — because I’m a pianist myself — so putting these two things together was a lifelong dream of mine” (Pierre Jalbert, world premiere, Tucson Winter Chamber Music Festival 2017).

Program includes:

• Pierre Jalbert — Piano Quintet 
• Dmitri Shostakovich — Piano Quintet in G Minor, Op. 57

Artists or program may be subject to change.

The multimedia Pre-Concert Conversation starts at 1:15 p.m. as Gary Levinson, CMSFW artistic director, adds insights about the composers and music.

The concert begins at 2:00 p.m.
