Kick off the evening with Schumann’s electrifying Overture, Scherzo, and Finale —its fiery energy and playful twists set the perfect laid‑back yet thrilling tone. Then, feel the chemistry as Amy Schwartz Moretti (violin) and Edward Aaron (cello) team up in Brahms’s sumptuous Double Concerto. Folk‑tinged melodies and lush, intertwining lines make this a heartfelt, toe‑tapping highlight.
Finally, watch our superstar trio take center stage in Beethoven’s grand Triple Concerto as Andy Armstrong comes to the piano alongside Moretti and Aaron. Expect bold themes, brilliant solos, and a trumphant finale!
Dress code>>>Blue jeans for everyone—because world‑class music is always more fun when it’s comfortable.
YOUR BRAIN ON ART>>>
Listening to classical music during the winter months may help reduce seasonal anxiety and symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) by lowering cortisol levels and boosting dopamine production, which can improve mood and relaxation (Maratos, Gold, Wang, & Crawford, 2008). Additionally, research from the British Journal of Psychiatry suggests that music therapy, including classical music, can enhance emotional well-being and alleviate depressive symptoms associated with colder, darker seasons (Erkkilä et al., 2011).
