Joining Mr. Lin are some of today’s most prominent classical artists. Among them, pianist Anna Polonsky [“…someone to watch.” –The New York Times], cellist Jonah Kim [“…the next Yo Yo Ma.” –Washington Post], violinist Liang-Ping How [Orpheus Chamber Orchestra], violist Daniel Stewart [Music Director of the Santa Cruz Symphony], and violist Jaime Amador [Harlem Quartet].
Repertoire: Saturday evening’s program includes Beethoven’s String Quintet in C Major and Brahms Piano Quartet in C Minor. Sunday afternoon’s program includes the world premiere of Nazakinskaya’s Hope and Shostakovich’s Piano Quintet in G Minor. The grand finale will be 15 strings in Tchaikovsky’s Serenade led by Cho-Liang Lin.
Since 2015, MiM makes regular visits to Santa Cruz Juvenile Hall. Former assistant division director Jennifer Buesing remarks, “The music programs reach their souls… giving them hope that there is something more. The kids take away that there is something so much more to this life.”
This year the resident outreach ensemble Sound Impact string trio takes MiM’s outreach to new heights through more school visits and residencies at two juvenile detention centers. [“Sound Impact revives the evocative and visceral power of music that can too often be deadened in more formal concert environments.” – Santa Cruz Sentinel]
