7. Wu Han, piano & CMS Chamber Quartet
“Performances such as the one given by Wu Han and friends are the stuff of legend. When a chamber music performance is both easygoing and insanely precise, the underlying substance of it has a way of penetrating deeply into the human psyche. That’s what it’s all about for Han, Finckel, and the people with whom they work. They are defining, in real time, the very essence of chamber music.” (The Berkshire Edge 2021) Get ready for another electrifying program, featuring one of the captivating Dvorak Piano Quartets.
