For Mother’s Day, we present one of the greatest and most sublime pieces of chamber music ever written, Schubert’s cello quintet. An all-star ensemble, including Houston Symphony concertmaster Yoonshin Song, principal violist Joan DerHovsepian, and principal cellist Brinton Averil Smith, will perform one of the works that is closest to our hearts, in this program celebrating Schubert's genius.Read more
Kinetic Ensemble closes out its milestone 10th season with a program tracing and celebrating its Houston roots. The evening features no less than three premieres: a new work by composer Mason Bynes (who hails from Sugar Land, and is now based in New York) that expands upon her school-age hobby of composing musical telegrams for friends and classmates; the Texas premiere of In Light of Sound by genre-defying artist Evan Ziporyn, written for Kinetic’s residency at MIT earlier this Spring; and a short fanfare by founding member, violinist-composer Giancarlo Latta. The program concludes with Benjamin Britten’s Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge, which is a nod to Kinetic’s first performance in 2015 that featured this work. Celebrate 10 years of collaborative music-making and “thoughtful, incisive programming” (Arts and Culture Texas) with Kinetic!Read more
