On this evening, Dean Chin will be joined by faculty colleagues: violinists Jesse Mills and Solomiya Ivakhiv, violist Sean Wang, and cellist Ole Akahoshi.

4 | FRIDAY • 10.18.2019 • 8:00PM FLOW No one ever steps in the same river twice, but you'll be swept away by both Smetana’s Czech Moldau—his own arrangement for four hands—and Mason Bates’ evocation of Colorado's Red River—for piano trio plus clarinet and tape. These river-themed works are paired with a work of Lutosławski, Wasserklavier by Berio, and a much-loved trio by Smetana. | Guest Artists: IGOR BEGELMAN, clarinet; WAYMAN CHIN, piano

FRIDAY • 12.6.2019 • 8:00PM FLAME In addition to Berio's Feuerklavier, fire and passion spark three works: Dvorˇák’s masterpiece, Dumky; a hidden treasure by Armenian composer Babajanian; and musical fireworks by American Charles Wuorinen.

FRIDAY • 3.6.2020 • 8:00PM GROUNDED, FANTASTICAL Be transported to a fantastical world: Robert Schumann’s iconic trio paints a scene of earthy yet mysterious characters—as do Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire; Berio's Erdenklavier; and Eric Moe's Welcome to Phase Space (Boston premiere). It promises to be a concert of the terrestrial, but extra. | Guest Artists: IGOR BEGELMAN, clarinet; JUDITH BETTINA, voice; JENNIFER GRIM, flute

FRIDAY • 4.24.2020 • 8:00PM BREATHTAKING A trio by Mozart, Fauré's famous piano quartet, and Berio's Luftklavier evoke the constraints of space and air. The poignant For Daniel by Joan Tower was written for her nephew, who suffered a fatal lung disease. One can hear in this music Daniel's struggle for breath, as well as the composer's anguish as she remembers and honors his life. | Guest Artist: MASUMI ROSTAD, viola

| 5 FRIDAY • 11.15.2019 • 8:00PM GESSNER-SCHOCKEN CONCERT SERIES: HOMECOMING | (AMES-TOTENBERG STRADIVARIUS)

LONGY’S EDWARD M. PICKMAN CONCERT HALL Nathan Meltzer, violin; Jessica Xylina Osborne, piano Longy welcomes home the long-lost Ames-Totenberg Stradivarius forty years after its shocking theft from Roman Totenberg’s office in Zabriskie House. Director of Longy from 1978–85, Totenberg's beloved Stradivarius made international headlines when it was recovered by the FBI in 2015. The virtuoso violinist died in 2012, but the story continues to touch the hearts of music lovers and mystery buffs worldwide. Rising young artist Nathan Meltzer brings this magnificent instrument back to Longy for a program that includes a work of Karol Szymanowski, a composer whom Roman Totenberg championed throughout his career.
