Hosted Concert: Nostalgia

Many of our hosts  generously open their homes to additional guests. To request an invitation to this event, please email christina@sheffieldchamberplayers.org and let us know how you heard about us!

Our season closing program expresses bittersweet nostalgia for the past, deep yearning for the future, and an awareness that we are present together in this very moment. Lyatoshynsky’s heartfelt Fourth Quartet (a “Suite on Ukrainian Themes”) and Mendelssohn’s optimistic and youthful First Quartet join selections from Reena Esmail's This is It, a collection of works not only written in the present, but also in the context of her philosophy of writing music with the express purpose of bringing people together to share a specific moment in time. ~ Megumi Stohs Lewis
