About the event
The grand finale of Beare’s Premiere Music Festival—the last of 18 years of chamber music excellence—opens with a rare gem: a vibrant violin quartet by Polish female composer Graźyna Bacewicz, followed by Lutosławski’s fiery Paganini Variations and Gershwin’s jazzy An American in Paris performed by pianists Michael Stephen Brown and Serena Wang.
Then experience the timeless masterpiece of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, one of classical music’s most popular and recognized works, played with four different soloists: So-Ock Kim, Yura Lee, Angela Chan and Stefan Jackiw.
Join us for this unforgettable finale, honoring nearly two decades of world-class chamber music and unmatched artistry.
