Ensemble-in-Residence the Manhattan Chamber Players flexes its Romantic muscles with music from that great, wildly varied era of chamber music composition in a recital including Dmitri Shostakovich’s early, absolutely wild Octet, Joaquín Turina’s pan-European, rarely heard Scéne Andalouse and CCCMF’s first ever presentation of Johannes Brahms’ towering, masterful Piano Quintet. Join us in the unmatched acoustics of Tulane’s Dixon Concert Hall for an evening of sublime music making!
CCCMF Founding Artistic Director Luke Fleming leads an informal Pre-Concert Talk and Q&A at 6:30 PM.
