Join us for this unique chamber music series curated and performed by SLSO musicians. Experience new and treasured repertoire masterfully brought to life on The Sheldon stage in a dynamic lineup of instruments and players.
Curated by Celeste Golden Andrews, Second Associate Concertmaster, and Melissa Brooks, Associate Principal Cello.

Memories and traditions echo throughout this program, revisited and revised. Shelley Washington’s dazzling string quartet evokes—in the composer’s own words—“where we gathered. Home of the heart, heart of the home.” A radical arrangement of a G.F. Handel suite makes a new home for classical traditions. Antonín Dvořák retains his Bohemian roots while Vaughan Williams harkens back to memories of birds taking wing. A new work by award-winning Missouri teenage composer Henry Rusten invites listeners to hear echoes from a new generation.
