Violinist

When 57-year-old Brahms penned his Second String Quintet, he truly believed that his best work was behind him. His biographer Walter Niemann later disagreed, calling it “the most passionate, the freshest, and the most deeply inspired by nature” of Brahms’ entire catalog.

Brahms Strings

Walt Disney Concert Hall

The Overture Concerts feature International Program performers in collaboration with festival main-stage artists, providing a unique experience for audience members and musicians alike. This summer, International Program artists will perform across two concert programs side by side with violinists Bella Hristova, James Thompson, and Tien-Hsin Cindy Wu, violists Matthew Lipman and Paul Neubauer, cellist Mihai Marica, pianist Shai Wosner, and clarinetist Tommaso Lonquich.

This concert series functions as an “overture” to the future of chamber music: world-renowned festival artists share their knowledge, experience, and expertise with the burgeoning International Program musicians as they perform side by side. The artists collectively bridge the gap between the traditions of the past, the master performers of today, and the exciting musical possibilities of tomorrow. Please join us to experience the fruits of their collaboration and to witness a glimpse of the bright future of chamber music.
