Upcoming Concerts
SPEAK TO ME IN SILENCE
Fri, Nov 6 - 7:30PM • Sun, Nov 8 - 2:30PM
Ent Center for the Arts • Chapman Recital Hall
The silence we leave behind and the words we wish we’d spoken – Anna Clyne’s Within Her Arms is a mournful, deeply personal elegy for strings that is dedicated to the fearless composer’s late mother and based on the poetry of Thich Nhat Hanh.
The journey continues through the sparkling soundscapes of Nicky Sohn’s guitar concerto, written as a showcase for Bokyung herself, and concludes with the harmonic perfection of Mozart: an eight-movement serenade that is a world all its own.
You’ll See: A Guitar Soloist with Orchestra
You’ll Hear: Old & New Masterworks

HEART OF LIFE
Sat, Jan 30 - 7:30PM • Sun, Jan 31 - 2:30PM
Ent Center for the Arts • Chapman Recital Hall
The winner of our 2025 Emerging Soloist Competition takes the stage for one of the most blisteringly virtuosic pieces of music in all the piano repertoire.
Nothing short of Beethoven’s best overture will do to open the concert, and we’ll close with the music of the oft-overlooked Emilie Mayer – frequently called the “female Beethoven” for her depth of Romantic feeling and lyricism.
You’ll See: A Piano Virtuoso
You’ll Hear: Beethoven’s Best Overture
You’ll Feel: Awe & Wonder
