Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center: American Visitors

The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center returns to The Purchase PAC this season with the first performance of their three-concert series, American Visitors.

The United States has been greatly enriched by the influences of its many distinguished musical visitors. In a program celebrating this diversity, we will enjoy the sublime music of Dvořák twice, once through his “American” voice in the Sonatina, composed in Spillville, Iowa, and his quintessentially Czech mode with his iconic Piano Quintet. In between, the stage is shared by the Belgians and English, as we hear the touching “Child’s Dream” by Eugène Ysaÿe, and the stunning Piano Quintet by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor.
