Camerata Pacifica Presents: A Night Out at Zipper Hall

✨ Get ready for a night of lush romanticism, vibrant modern soundworlds, and virtuoso chamber performance that will stir every chord in your soul. Featuring Alena Hove (violin), Ani Aznavoorian (cello), and Irina Zahharenkova (piano), this program weaves together rich textures old and new, across three stunning works.

First up is Rachmaninoff’s Sonata for Cello & Piano in G Minor, Op. 19 — composed in 1901, this is one of his deepest forays into chamber music. From brooding, thunderous opening arcs to sweeping lyricism, and a finale that pulses with intensity and resolution, this piece shows exactly how Cello and Piano can converse as equals.

Next is María Huld Markan Sigfúsdóttir’s Aequora — a contemporary piece combining grand piano and electronics (commissioned in 2015 for the Iceland Arts Festival) that opens a portal into shimmering, immersive modern soundscapes.

Finally, the evening caps with Arno Babadjanian’s Piano Trio in F-sharp Minor (1952), a work rich in folk-inspired lyricism and dramatic sweep — intimate yet bold, nostalgic yet forward-looking, with delightful interplay among violin, cello, and piano.

🌟 With our Nights Out program, you can grab discounted tickets to this marvelous concert — making this chance to hear three distinctive masterpieces live more accessible than ever.
