The program includes Alex Robertson's String Trio and Sheridan Seyfried's Violin Sonata, promising innovative and dynamic performances of two exciting world premieres. This unique concert showcases the virtuosity of Pacific Symphony musicians in a program that pairs modern creativity with a timeless classic.

While you sip coffee and savor decadent desserts, your gifted host, curator, and pianist Orli Shaham guides you on a journey exploring how composers influenced each other and changed the course of chamber music.
