Kallos Chamber Music Series | Timeless Threads: Antique to Modern

Timeless Threads takes us on a journey through time, blending the old and the new.

From Hildegard von Bingen's chant "O Virtus Sapiente" to John Cage's Quodibet from string quartet in Four Parts, Mozart's theme and variation, Marc Mellits' discrete structures (2024), and Coleridge-Taylor's clarinet quintet, each piece connects to form a coherent and engaging experience.

Despite their diversity, the music works together to show how early compositions resonate with modern audiences and how contemporary works fit into the timeless flow of music.
