*Live-streamed on our YouTube channel*
A staple of chamber music in the late Classical and early Romantic era (circa 1780–1830) was the Italian Notturno for two voices with continuo or fully-composed keyboard part. This genre, a descendant of the Baroque chamber cantata, remains very little explored today; hundreds of gems await rediscovery. Teatro Nuovo’s concentration on early Romantic opera poises its musicians to lead this revival. Teatro Nuovo’s 1804 Lonsdale fortepiano (plus cello as appropriate) provides the ideal period accompaniment. |

New York, NY — Composers Concordance presents Shakuhachi Focaccia: Bread, Bamboo, and Beyond, an eclectic evening where Japanese bamboo flutes, contemporary composition, guitar, strings, percussion, poetry—and freshly baked bread—come together in an unconventional celebration of sound and culture.
The concert features new and recent works by Dan Cooper, Ginka Mizuki, James Nyoraku Schlefer, Tasos Papastamou, Gene Pritsker, and Marina Vesic, performed by an ensemble of musicians whose backgrounds span contemporary classical music, improvisation, world music, and beyond.
At the center of the program is the distinctive sound of the shakuhachi, the traditional Japanese bamboo flute, performed by James Nyoraku Schlefer, Marco Karaku Burmester, and Adam Robinson. They will be joined by Gene Pritsker on guitar, Jennifer Vincent on bass, Damien Bassman on cajon, Tasos Papastamou on violin, poet Ray Tuttle and The Chiriuchi Ensemble, performing chiriuchi — a soft silk-cloth snap that “brushes away dust". |

GRAMMY®-winning guitarist and vocalist celebrates iconic singer Tony Bennett!
John Pizzarelli, the GRAMMY®-winning guitarist and vocalist, honors Tony Bennett’s centennial with a heartfelt tribute rooted in his family’s long connection to the legendary singer. His father, Bucky Pizzarelli, frequently performed with Bennett, and John later joined the icon for a memorable radio session. Bennett often attended Pizzarelli’s shows and even sketched him—one drawing now appears on his album cover Dear Mr. Bennett.
John Pizzarelli has been hailed by the Boston Globe for “reinvigorating the Great American Songbook and re-popularizing jazz.” The John Pizzarelli Trio is celebrated for its chemistry and versatility and brings warmth and swing to this celebration of Bennett’s enduring artistry. |

Based on the best-selling novel that inspired the iconic film, THE NOTEBOOK tells the story of Allie and Noah, both from different worlds, who share a lifetime of love despite the forces that threaten to pull them apart. “Full of butterfly-inducing highs and beautiful songs” (Entertainment Weekly), THE NOTEBOOK is a deeply moving portrait of the enduring power of love.
Chris Jones of The Chicago Tribune says THE NOTEBOOK is “absolutely gorgeous, not to be missed,” and The New York Daily News calls it “a love story for the ages.”
THE NOTEBOOK is directed by Michael Greif (Dear Evan Hansen, Next to Normal, RENT) and Schele Williams (The Wiz, Aida), and features music and lyrics by multi-platinum singer-songwriter Ingrid Michaelson, book by Bekah Brunstetter (NBC’s “This Is Us”), and choreography by Katie Spelman. |

Named one of the greatest string quartets of the last 100 years by BBC Music Magazine and “the next Guarneri Quartet” by the Chicago Tribune, the two-time Grammy-nominated Dover Quartet is one of the world’s most lauded chamber ensembles. Hailed as “meticulously balanced, technically clean-as-a-whistle and intonationally immaculate” (The Strad), the Dovers return to CMNW to kick off our 2026/27 Year-Round Season. The evening begins with Brahms’s gorgeous String Quartet No. 3, followed by American Indian composer Jerod Impichchaachaaha’ Tate’s newest string quartet orchestration of Pura Fé’s—Indigenous activist, singer-songwriter, and storyteller—Rattle Songs, and Dvorák’s joyful String Quartet No. 11 serves as a fitting finale. |
