Simone Dinnerstein is a distinctive musical voice. The Washington Post has called this GRAMMY-nominated pianist “an artist of strikingly original ideas and irrefutable integrity,” and all thirteen of her albums have topped the Billboard classical charts.

Praised by The Washington Post for “astounding” and “captivating” performances that draw from a notable “meld of intellect, technique and emotions,” the infectiously energetic Aizuri Quartet brings together their own four distinctive musical personalities, tracing a journey from darkness to dawn, and culminating in the warmth of Haydn’s “Sunrise” Quartet.

The Minnesotan low-voice ensemble Cantus has developed a national following for their trademark warmth and blend, innovative programming, and riveting performances of music ranging from the Renaissance to the 21st century.

Whether evoking birds and animals, rain and thunder, or the sounds of rolling waves, abundant nature is an infinite source of inspiration for composers.

Internationally renowned Israeli cellist Amit Peled is acclaimed as one of the most exciting and virtuosic instrumentalists on the concert stage today. Joined here by longtime musical collaborator pianist Solomon Eichner, this program explores music for cello by pioneering American composers.

Flutist Anthony Trionfo, whose playing has been called “breezily virtuosic” (The New York Times), joins our Festival Artists for a delightful morning concert featuring chamber masterworks for flute, strings, and piano. Come discover the first of Mozart’s flute quartets, Friedrich Kuhlau’s last and possibly greatest composition, Grand Trio, and other works by rarely heard composers of the late-Classical and early Romantic periods.

Bach's six Cello Suites are among the most extraordinary and iconic works ever written for cello. Each piece resonates with its own unique characteristics and sonority. This is a rare opportunity to hear the full collection performed in its entirety by one of the preeminent cellists of our time.
