In our first season, the American String Quartet closed our year with the depth and artistry of an ensemble celebrating its 50th anniversary, performing alongside our Mystic Chamber Music Musicians, a milestone built through decades of shared sound. This season, we pass the stage to the next generation: the Terra String Quartet, just five years into their journey, bringing a fresh perspective and youthful precision to the rich traditions of chamber music. The evening concludes with Glazunov’s radiant Cello Quintet, as Terra is joined by MCMS Artistic Director Tom for a lush, five-part tapestry of sound. Come hear how tradition continues, evolves, and sings anew.
Featuring Works by Glazunov, Beethoven,
