Featuring a handpicked, rotating lineup of musicians from the historic Met Orchestra, The Met Orchestra Chamber Ensemble brings exceptional artistry to an ever-changing range of repertoire. Known for its versatility and depth, the ensemble offers audiences a mix of beloved chamber music classics, rarely heard treasures, and works by today’s leading composers. In this free Sunday-afternoon performance, enjoy Brahms’s quintessential String Sextet No. 2, a masterpiece for two violins, two violas, and two cellos; and Cloud Trio by the inimitable Kaija Saariaho, who explained that “the four sections of the piece have their own colors and characters … I leave it to the listeners to imagine what kinds of clouds were their sources of inspiration.”
