Tai Murray, Todd Palmer, & Friends: Brahms and Beyond
Tai Murray, violin
Todd Palmer, clarinet
Melissa Reardon, viola
Julia Bruskin, cello
Aaron Wunsch, piano
Violinist Tai Murray (“superb,“ New York Times) and clarinetist Todd Palmer (“elegant…spontaneous,” New York Times) lead a program of music by — and inspired by — Johannes Brahms. Caroline Shaw’s recent Thousandth Orange, inspired by playing Brahms piano quartets, pairs with Brahms’s searing and passionate Piano Quartet in C Minor, op. 60; Nino Rota’s lyrical and jaunty Clarinet Trio pairs with Brahms’s autumnal Clarinet Trio. Violist Melissa Reardon (“virtuosic,” Classical Voice), cellist Julia Bruskin, and pianist and Artistic Director Aaron Wunsch join.
Program
Johannes Brahms — Trio for Clarinet, Cello, and Piano, op. 114
Nino Rota — Trio for Clarinet, Cello, and Piano
Caroline Shaw — Thousandth Orange for Piano Quartet
Johannes Brahms — Piano Quartet in C Minor, op. 60

RESERVE ADMISSION
Most of our 300 seats are for those who just show up — but as a courtesy to our friends who work late, we set aside some advance reservations for general admission. All other seats are 'first come, first served' and are available as early as 6:45 pm, when the doors open. Note that reservations are good for entrance only, not for specific seats. Reservations are void after 7:20pm.
If reservations are gone, don't worry — just show up! It is rare for Music Mondays to turn anyone away.
