Kevin Kumar, violin Min-Young Kim, violin Jessica Thompson, viola Amy Sue Barston, cello Jessica Choe, piano Evan Meccarello, conductor

Celebrating the finale of ChamberFest Canandaigua’s 20th Anniversary Season, we’re joined by conductor Evan Meccarello, a full orchestra, and a slate of incredible soloists for an exuberant evening of music. A young Mozart, eager to break the norms of Salzburg, blends the styles he had recently encountered on a Parisian tour in this completely innovative concerto for a modest orchestra and two soloists: violin and viola. Decades later, Beethoven similarly sought to elevate the piano trio as a soloist; a daring endeavor in balancing three extremely unique voices in an altogether virtuosic and vibrant work.

Generously sponsored by Drs. Chip & OJ Sahler.
