“Discover the youthful fire and Brahmsian lyricism of Béla Bartók in his rarely heard and passionately Romantic Piano Quintet, a remarkable early work written before his modernist transformation. The program also features the elegance and charm of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s luminous Oboe Quartet. Opening the concert is Family Photos by emerging composer Kian Ravaei, winner of Chamber Music Rochester’s 2026 Composition Competition.”
