This year we celebrate the great artistic ideas that continue to resonate throughout the ages through music and images—those that, rather than diffusing as they ripple through time, gather strength through repetition, variation and reinterpretation.
Constantly changing and moving ourselves, we are drawn back to the venues where we are enriched by a reacquaintance with art and music that retains its power, no matter how new and different the performance, or how changed our own perception.
Join us for five sets of artistic echoes, where the aural and visual arts respond to each other in sympathetic resonance!
Mikhail Mikhailovich Cheremnykh. The Hour Approaches. May 26, 1944.
Gift of the USSR Society for Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries 2010.69.
MERIDIAN QUARTETCornelius Chu violinKozue Funakoshi violinDiane Mues viola Paula Kosower cello
Shostakovich String Quartet No. 8 in C Minor, Op. 110 Brahms String Quartet No. 1 in C Minor, Op. 51, No. 1
During World War II, Soviet artists sought to rally allies with monumental hand-stenciled posters portraying the war’s gruesome story in vibrant detail. Shostakovich wrote his eighth quartet in 1960 Dresden, where the wartime destruction was all too evident, and dedicated it “to the victims of fascism and war.”
Claude Monet. Stacks of Wheat (Sunset, Snow Effect), 1890/91.
Potter Palmer Collection.
PRESSENDA TRIODavid Taylor violinGary Stucka celloAndrea Swan piano
Beethoven Variations in G Major on “Ich bin der Schneider Kakadu” for Piano Trio, Op. 121a Amram Dirge & Variations for Piano Trio Brahms Piano Trio No. 2 in C Major, Op. 87
Visual artists like impressionist Claude Monet often returned to the same subject again and again in a series of works in an attempt to capture changes that occur over the passage of time. Musical variations, by their very nature presented sequentially, deepen and develop an original theme through a rich harmonic, rhythmic and textural kaleidoscope.
Roy Lichtenstein. Brushstroke with Spatter, 1966.

CHICAGO ENSEMBLEBaird Dodge violinNi Mei violinYukiko Ogura viola Loren Brown celloMichael Hovnanian bassMathieu Dufour flute Scott Hostetler oboe/English hornSteven Williamson clarinetWilliam Buchman bassoon Daniel Gingrich hornSarah Bullen harpCynthia Yeh vibraphone
Françaix Dixtuor Jolivet Sonatine for Flute and Clarinet Ravel Introduction & Allegro for Harp, Flute, Clarinet & String Quartet Salonen Memoria Matheson Colonnade for Chamber Orchestra
Roy Lichtenstein mined his day’s comic strips to create Pop art canvases that still resonate today. Jean Françaix (b.1912–d.1997) and James Matheson (b.1970) are both composers who enjoy putting their spin on existing forms—the Frenchman’s Dixtuor emerges from the world of jazz, while in Colonnade the Brooklyn-based Matheson is inspired by the clean lines of the New York State Education Building.
Artist unknown. The Three Graces, no date.
Gift of Peter J. Cohen.
VILLANDRY TRIORobert Chen violinJohn Sharp celloRieko Aizawa piano
Beethoven Piano Trio To Be Announced Schubert Piano Trio in E-flat Major, D.929
Personal snapshots, like those featured in The Three Graces, capture both unique moments in an individual’s life and an era’s evolution. They keep time for us, crossing decades without leaving their original essence behind. Schubert’s E-flat Piano Trio, one of the last works to be published before his early death, offers an indelible image of his genius in the last months of his life.
Antonio Allegri, called Correggio. Saint Benedict Gesturing to the Left: Study for Coronation of the Virgin, 1520/23.
Gift of Anne Searle Bent.
TONONI ENSEMBLEFox Fehling violinCharles Pikler violinDaniel Orbach viola Roger Cline bassDaniel Gingrich hornSusan Merdinger piano
Mozart Quintet for Horn and Strings in E-flat Major, K. 407 Susmano Trio for Piano, Viola & French Horn Levinson Shtetl Scenes Barilari Darwin’s Dream Brahms Trio for Horn, Violin & Piano in E-flat Major, Op. 40
Angels and saints populate drawings and transport us back to an era when reaching beyond was an everyday aspiration. Former CSO Music Director Sir Georg Solti once said that “Mozart makes you believe in God because the existence of such a genius and the creation of his masterpieces could not have been by chance.”
