Winners of the Silver Medal at the 2021 Fischoff Competition and Winners of the 2022 Concert Artists Guild Victor Elmaleh Competition, the Galvin Cello Quartet explores the limitless range of a cello ensemble by bringing together new works representing diverse cultural backgrounds while seeking to establish the cello quartet as a core part of the classical music world.

Rockport Music-Shalin Liu Performance Center

The year 2024 marks the 200th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the United States and Brazil. Join PCE this November for a bicentennial celebration that showcases two centuries of incredible music from South America, from the earliest works by composers native to Brazil to a world premiere commission by André Mehmari, a leading figure on the Brazilian classical scene today. Presented by guest curator Flávio Chamis (composer, conductor, and educator), the concert offers a panoramic view of Brazilian concert music. The program includes a tempestuous classical overture by José Maurício Nunes, the modern and US premiere of Francisco Mignone’s Quadros Amazônicos (an orchestral suite based on myths from the Amazon), Heitor Villa-Lobos’s Bachiana Brasileiras no. 4, a set of popular Brazilian songs performed by DC’s own Elin Melgarejo, and chamber music featuring Latin GRAMMY-nominated violist, Tatjana Mead Chamis.
