WINSTEAD CHAMBER SERIES - STRINGS IN CONVERSATION

An ode to the joy of playing, this program is a celebration of music-making. Miklós Rózsa’s "Sonata for Two Violins" opens the evening with spirited dialogue. Borodin’s deeply affectionate String Quartet No. 2 follows, a musical anniversary gift to his wife filled with lyricism and unforgettable melody. CSO Music Director Cristian Măcelaru returns to his roots on violin as he joins Mendelssohn’s sparkling Octet, a piece in which eight distinct voices intertwine in breezy yet exhilarating exchange.
