Our opening concert brings together compositions written in collaboration with multiple composers or played by multiple performers on the same instruments, all performed by some of the most brilliant chamber musicians of our time. A series of Romantic-era variations culminates in two stunning quartets, Bacewicz’ Quartet for Four Violins and Czerny’s Quartet for Four Pianos, with four of the finest pianists in the world—Garrick Ohlsson, Inon Barnatan, Joyce Yang, and Wynona Yinuo Wang—on stage at once.
