After a sold-out performance with the Galvin Cello Quartet in 2025, James Baik returns to Newport for a delightful morning recital at The Elms mansion. First Prize Winner of the 2023 Young Concert Artists Susan Wadsworth International Auditions and recipient of the Paul A. Fish Memorial Prize and the Bridgehampton Chamber Music Prize, James brings what The Strad calls “a musical fabric bejeweled with the precision and beauty of Baik’s sound” to a program featuring Mendelssohn, Shostakovich, Fauré, and more. This concert offers an enchanting journey through time, set against the elegance of The Elms.
