Orion Chamber
Ensemble

Sunday, October 27, 2024 at 3 pm

Piano Quartet Grandeur
The Orion Ensemble, with guest violist Noriko Futagami, presents two contrasting piano quartets in G minor. The second quartet of Gabriel Fauré is alternately brooding, optimistic, wistful, and passionate. Brahms’ hauntingly beautiful first piano quartet is majestically symphonic and concludes with a wild Hungarian rondo.

 

Clarinet Quintet Masterpieces

Sunday, January 19, 2025 at 3 pm

The Magic of Five
Clarinetist Robert Patterson joins a stellar set of string players to present two enthralling masterpieces for clarinet quintet—the sublime Mozart K. 581 and the Brahms Op. 115, an autumnal work of profound emotion and reflection.

 

Piano Trio Delights

Sunday, February 9, 2025 at 3 pm

From Paris to St. Petersburg
In her Needham Concert Society debut, pianist Asiya Korepanova joins violinist Irina Muresanu and cellist Ronald Lowry to perform two piano trios—Fauré’s late trio in D minor, Op. 120, nostalgic and reflective, and the Tchaikovsky A minor trio, Op. 50, a grand virtuosic tour de force.
