Dear Friends,
With great excitement, I invite you to String Theory Season 16 - a season filled with returning favorites and memorable Debuts.
Our season opens with five treasured musicians playing two of the most beloved works written for the clarinet: Brahms Clarinet Sonata in Eb and Mozart Clarinet Quintet. Legendary clarinetist, David Shifrin, will be joined by the celebrated Miró Quartet for this timeless opening concert. Will Liverman, a shining star in the opera world who sang the title roles in both Metropolitan Opera’s productions of Fire Shut Up My Bone and Malcolm X, will share with us a soulful evening of songs. The highly-anticipated return of the Danish Quartet will feature Schubert’s grand string quartet in G major. Violin virtuoso Benjamin Beilman will present a program inspired by his “Ysaÿe” Guarneri del Gesù from 1740, and the pieces that were performed on this storied instrument. Two of my favorite musicians, cellist Paul Watkins and pianist Alessio Bax will join me in a program of solo, duo, and trio treasures for the cello and piano! Our season will end with a bang - literally and figuratively - with three of the most striking percussionists, Ji Hye Jung, Ayano Kataoka, and Ian Rosenbaum. One of my all-time favorite performances at String Theory is Table Music by Thierry De Mey - a theatrical piece written for three percussionists sitting at a table. I cannot wait to experience it again in the hands of these three virtuosi.
String Theory Season 16 promises to be the most spectacular season yet. I hope you will subscribe today and come immerse yourselves in the greatest chamber music right here in Chattanooga!
