Interior passion meets exterior beauty in a program of poetic resonance, legacy, and memory. Earl Kim examines the passage of time and the nature of our existence through the arresting poetry of Samuel Beckett, and Kim’s teachers, Bloch and Schoenberg, share miniature twilight journeys of color and character. Composed in the final weeks of his life, Schubert’s Cello Quintet closes the circle on our exercises in living, remembering, and feeling.
"Its concerts are the slow food of local chamber music, events where sounds and sensibilities, rhapsody and reverie, old music and new, are balanced with care and a sense of individual voice."
— The Boston Globe
