Sonic Arguments—at Buzz Coffee Roaster
Tuesday, August 21, 2018 @ 6:30 pm CDT
NEXUS Chamber Music Chicago is planning first-class musical events in unconventional venues in and around Chicago, deconstructing the traditional barrier between audience and performer. Their first summer 2018 performance will take place at the ever-popular Buzz Coffee Roaster cafe. The audience will enjoy a virtuosic program of masterpieces for violin and cello duo performed by the two NEXUS Co-Artistic Directors.
The same program will be repeated on Wednesday, August 22 at the Whiner Beer Company taproom and on Friday, August 24 in Guarneri Hall.
NEXUS is a collective of emerging musical artists from around the world who are committed to introducing great chamber music to new audiences.
Concert Program:
Henning Kraggerud: Variation Suite for Violin and Cello
Maurice Ravel: Sonata for Violin and Cello
Iannis Xenakis: Dhipli Zyia
Zoltán Kodály: Duo for Violin and Cello, Op. 7
Musicians: Brian Hong, violin; Alexander Hersh, cello
This event is co-sponsored by Buzz Coffee Roaster. Tickets will be available at the door ($25 is the suggested donation). All donations will benefit Guarneri Hall.
In normal times, we livestream most of our live concerts. In these times, out of concern for our audiences and artists, all Guarneri Hall events are virtual. Find details on how to access each event on its event page.
