The Winstead Chamber Series concludes its 23/24 season with a collection of music highlighting the CSO’s winds and strings. From the folk-inspired Schulhoff Concertino and the reflective Reinecke Trio, to the rhapsodic and rhythmic Trio from Khachaturian and the crafted harmonies of Schumann’s String Quartet, there is something for every chamber music fan to love.

Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts

LA Phil violin Jin-Shan Dai curates a wide-ranging program that offers the orchestra’s bass players a rare chance in the chamber music spotlight. Opening the night is the Concertino by Erwin Schulhoff, whose music blends the late-Romantic style of his mentor Dvořák with elements of post-WWI expressionism and even jazz. Prokofiev’s Quintet picks up that early-20th-century thread with unapologetic glee, chromaticism, and Stravinsky-inspired rhythmic flair. The second half of the concert pivots to one of Franz Schubert’s most popular and loved works, the leisurely and uplifting “Trout” Quintet.

Walt Disney Concert Hall

While Emmanuel Pahud’s virtuosity shines through in his concerti, a more intimate chamber music setting moves audiences with his expressive playing. Accompanied by a string ensemble made up of OM musicians, the flutist will perform some of the repertoire’s hidden gems. Featuring a young, melodic Mozart, the long-hidden talent of American composer Amy Beach, Hoffman’s charming Serenade and the Slavic style of Schulhoff’s work, the program is full of discoveries and wonder.
