Sarah Gibson You are Still Here | Max Tan (violin)

Robert Schumann Märchenerzählungen (Fairy Tales), Op. 132 | Sérgio Coelho (clarinet), Jonah Sirota (viola), Marisa Gupta (piano)

Fernando Arroyo García Lascurain Piano Trio No. 2 WORLD PREMIERE, Sunset ChamberFest Commission | Max Tan (violin), Michael Kaufman (cello), Marisa Gupta (piano)

Johannes Brahms Piano Quartet No. 3 in C Minor, Op. 60 | Roberto Cani (violin), Jonah Sirota (viola), Michael Kaufman (cello), Marisa Gupta (piano)

The 2 years since we last held the Festival live have been challenging. Sarah Gibson’s You are Still Here evokes a memory from 2020 as many struggled to find meaning and purpose amidst isolation, while Arroyo’s trio was written in the wake of the pandemic. Robert Schumann’s Fairy Tales are imaginative and fantastical, almost dreamlike. The Brahms strikes a serious note although through its darkness and turbulence, has in its third movement an absolutely exquisite message of hope.
