Barrett Hall at the Pasadena Conservatory of Music
Sometimes, music soars. Sometimes, it aches. And sometimes, it refuses to resolve — until it finally does. This program explores the fragile, cathartic space between dissonance and harmony. From Mozart’s “Dissonance” Quartet and Janáček’s Intimate Letters to Prokofiev’s lyrical modernism, Caroline Shaw’s crystalline sound world, and Gesualdo’s haunting Renaissance chromaticism, this is music that finds beauty in unrest, and invites us to do the same.
Complimentary wine reception with the artists to follow. More info on our venues and parking at https://www.salastina.org/venues
