DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Philadelphia Chamber Music Society\nMusicians: Verona
  Quartet and Steven Banks\n\n🎷 A string quartet meets the expressive\, 
 boundary-crossing sound of the saxophone. **The Philadelphia Chamber Music
  Society** welcomes the acclaimed **Verona Quartet and visionary saxophoni
 st-composer Steven Banks** for an adventurous program that moves between c
 lassical tradition\, contemporary storytelling\, and richly varied musical
  worlds. The evening features a world premiere: Banks and the quartet perf
 orm *Mania Amour*\, a new work by composer **Nabors**\, commissioned by PC
 MS. Also on the program are **Debussy**’s evocative *Syrinx*\, **Mozart*
 *’s elegant *Oboe Quartet* reimagined for this ensemble\, and three Phil
 adelphia premieres—including **Banks**’s own *Reflections and Exaltati
 ons*\, **Reena Esmail**’s *Magan Rehna*\, and **Christopher Theofanidis*
 *’s *Visions of the Hereafter*. Expect everything from intimate\, atmosp
 heric textures to bold\, exuberant interplay\, with the saxophone adding a
  whole new dimension to the sound of chamber music.\n\nMake an evening of 
 it with a **pre-concert talk by Peter Schoenbach at 6:30 PM in Comcast Cir
 cle**\, offering a chance to get some context and insight before the perfo
 rmance begins at 7:30. Join the Verona Quartet and Steven Banks **Wednesda
 y\, December 9 at the Perelman Theater at the Kimmel Center** for a concer
 t full of discovery and musical surprises! 🎶✨
