Chiarina Chamber Players: The Best Cuisine

Chiarina’s newly commissioned work by Carlos Simon—a delectable, recipe-inspired journey for voice and piano trio—receives a world premiere. A nocturnally reminiscent song cycle by H. Leslie Adams includes poetry by Langston Hughes, and Theofanidis’s string duo responds to times of conflict. Dvořák’s beloved “Dumky” trio delights with song and dance.

This commission has been made possible by the Chamber Music America Classical Commissioning Program, with generous funding provided by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
