Left Coast Chamber Ensemble Presents: Midnight Memories

🎶✨ Let yourself be transported by “Midnight Memories: Mendelssohn, Mahler, Moderns” — a luminous concert presented by our partners, Left Coast Chamber Ensemble!

This spellbinding program brings together the past and present in a rich constellations of sound — where intimate memories, bold expression, and modern voice all mingle under the moonlight.

Imagine this evening unfolding:

Fanny Mendelssohn’s Piano Trio in D Minor, Op. 11 — expressive, heartfelt chamber writing from a voice too long overshadowed, full of warmth, lyricism, and intricate dialogue.

Gustav Mahler’s Rückert-Lieder (arranged by David Hefti) — from the depths of the sublime: settings of Rückert’s poetry, suffused with reflection, inner tension, and longing that echo across time.

Roberto Sierra’s Tríptico and Artur Akshelyan’s *=Sillage (2024 Composition Contest Winner) — bold modern voices that carry forward the nocturnal mood, adding fresh textures, unexpected turns, and contemporary resonance to the evening’s tapestry.

Under the glow of memory and possibility, this concert invites you to listen deeply — to feel echoes of what has been and hints of what’s yet to come. 🌙

✨ And here’s the good news: thanks to Groupmuse’s Nights Out program, discounted tickets are available — enabling more music lovers to join this unforgettable night. Don’t miss your chance — reserve your seat, bring someone you love, and step into Midnight Memories with us.
