February 7th 7.30pm
DiMenna Center (450 West 37th Street)
Music is a story, and every note is a clue. Mozart opens—clean, sharp, every note landing like it’s meant to be there, no wasted motion. Then Mahler rolls in, dark and stormy, his Piano Quartet in A minor pulling you into a world he didn’t even finish. It’s raw, unresolved, like a conversation cut short.
Brahms follows with the Piano Quartet No. 3 in C minor, Op. 60. Its Andante movement is tender and introspective, offering a glimpse of warmth and longing amidst the stormy undercurrents of the work. And then there’s Debussy, whose Violin Sonata shimmers with impressionistic colors, weaving elegance and mystery into every phrase.
Finally, Caroline Shaw opens with Thousandth Orange, bridging the past and the present with music that feels alive—vivid, layered, and brimming with curiosity.

After making their West Coast debut with Emerald City Music in 2019, Dreamers’ Circus returns to the Puget Sound. Contemporary and endlessly innovative in their approach, the Danish trio draws inspiration from the deep traditions of folk music and reshapes them into something bright, shiny, and new. Dreamers’ Circus display inventiveness in their approach to performances, including music from Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, and the far reaches of the windswept Faroe Islands. The ensemble has won five prestigious Danish Music Awards and was named 2023 Artist of the Year by the Danish national classical radio channel P2, becoming the first non-classical group to earn that honor. |
