Kinetic Ensemble: "Mosaics" at MATCH Theater
From Kinetic Ensemble:
“Kinetic Ensemble presents a moving program curated in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month that draws on themes of collective grief and the power of community. Takashi Yoshimatsu’s poetic elegy, And Birds Are Still…, opens the program with other-worldly string textures inspired by an image of gathered birds around a fallen comrade. At the heart of this program is the world premiere of Nicky Sohn’s Cynthia for viola and string orchestra, featuring violist, Tonya Burton. Cynthia was written in the memory of Burton’s aunt, who passed away from metastatic breast cancer in 2022. Conversations between Sohn, Burton, and members of Cynthia’s patient support group inspired the composition, resulting in an intimate and profoundly moving work. In an exciting display of virtuosity, Valerie Coleman’s Tracing Visions closes the program with a powerful message: we are one people. The final movement, “Amandla!”, which means “power!” in Zulu, is an energetic and groovy Juba that celebrates the unity of all people.”

Rossini Club: Quartet for the End of Time
From Rossini Club:
January 15, 1941: Stalag VIII prisoner of war camp, deep in modern day Poland. The inmates huddle together, guarded by German officers, awaiting the first performance of Olivier Messiaen’s Quatuor pour le Fin du Temps. The composer was inspired by the Book of Revelations during his internment in the middle of the Second World War to write the quartet, drawing on his deep Catholic faith to create a work that summons both the ecstasy and abyss found in the telling of the end of days. Two companion pieces by Reena Esmail and György Kurtág begin the performance, works which reflect on the eternity of music, reverence for Messiaen’s singular artistic voice.
György Kurtág, Humble regard sur Olivier Messiaen | Reena Esmail, Tasveer | Messiaen, Quartet for the End of Time

Rossini Club: Steel & Silence
From Rossini Club:
Music of the northmost reaches of the world has often been noted for its starkness, reflecting the simple beauty of snow or the vast wilderness of Scandinavia. In this concert, we pair two Soviet-era works of opposing generations — the cheeky fairytale Cello Sonata of Sergei Prokofiev, and a Trio for clarinet, violin and piano from the much younger Galina Ustvolskaya, a student of Dmitri Shostakovich who was described as “the woman with the hammer” by Dutch critic Elmer Schönberger. Danish composer Carl Nielsen rounds out the evening with his beloved Wind Quintet: a lush romantic work, punctuated by the quirky flair of this trickster composer, and dedicated to his closest friends.

Rossini Club: Voices of Ecstasy
From Rossini Club:
With Voices of Ecstasy, we invite you to join our protagonist on her journey of exploring the many facets of ecstatic expression. Seeking to discover the limits of emotional intensity, she experiences states of euphoria, spiritual awakening, and a descent into desolation.
This theatrical production will feature soprano Christine Honein and violinist Emelyn Bashour, with support from cellist Bree Ahern and pianist Welsey Ducote, and will be directed by Benjamin Boskoff.
The Rossini Club is committed to creating welcoming, immersive performances that foreground both artistic excellence and human connection. We pair rarely heard works with beloved masterpieces, crafting programs that are evocative, thought-provoking, and deeply resonant—celebrating the vitality of the arts within our community.
As part of our 2026 season, we honor the preeminent Hungarian composer György Kurtág on the occasion of his 100th birthday. Voices of Ecstasy features selections from his groundbreaking work Kafka Fragments for soprano and violin, and explore other classical works for this unusual but expressive pairing of instruments, including music by J.S. Bach, Gustav Holst, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, and Barbara Strozzi.
This event is a pay-what-you-can donation.
