Making their Monterey Symphony debuts\, Jonathan Biss is one of America’s greatest living pianists\, and Alexi Kenney is a young superstar of the violin. Ran Dank and Soeyon Kate Lee—husband and wife\, and both outstanding piano soloists in their own right—return to the Monterey Symphony as a powerful piano duo with Dvorak’s tuneful Slavonic Dances and the world premiere for two pianos and orchestra by Chinese-American composer Chen Yi\,” says Music Director Jayce Ogren. \n“In May\, our collaboration with the San Francisco based chorus VOLTI continues with Verdi’s dramatic Te Deum and Mahler’s epic Symphony No. 2\, Resurrection\, the first ever Monterey Symphony performances of this beloved\, overwhelming work\,” says Ogren. \n“In addition to iconic favorites like Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5\, Copland’s Appalachian Spring\, Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4\, and in March we’ll present something very special. Brahms wrote just four symphonies\, considered by many to be the greatest works in the orchestral repertoire. In one weekend\, the Monterey Symphony will play them all. It’s a beautiful opportunity to hear these sublime works in close proximity to one another\, and I very much hope you’ll join us\,” says Ogren. \n2026-2027 Season Tickets: SUBSCRIPTIONS on sale starting MAY 1\, 2026.

SUMMARY:CALIDORE STRING QUARTET Chamber Music Monterey Bay
DESCRIPTION:Chamber Music Monterey Bay will present the highly acclaimed Calidore String Quartet for the final concert of our 2025-2026 Season. The Washington Post wrote of the Calidore\, “Four more individual musicians are unimaginable\, yet these speak\, breathe\, think and feel as one.” As was true for our previous ensemble\, the Dover Quartet\, this spectacular ensemble has appeared for CMMB only virtually\, in 2020. We are thrilled to present them in person. \nThe Calidore Quartet brings a big program to their performance in Carmel: A beautiful quartet by Haydn (Op. 76 no. 5)\, a powerful work by Shostakovich\, his String Quartet No. 8\, which we haven’t presented in over 20 years\, and Beethoven’s immense and profoundly moving String Quartet Op. 131. Writing of the Calidore\, The New York Times said: “Deep reserves of virtuosity and irrepressible dramatic instinct.” The Los Angeles Times noted that the Calidore are “Astonishing …shockingly deep… [with] the kind of sublimity other quartets spend a lifetime seeking.” \nWe hope to see you at Sunset Center to hear CMMB’s fifth and final concert\, with an extraordinary ensemble and a powerful closing for our 59th Season. \nThe concert will be preceded by a 30-minute talk by Bay Area musicologist Ian Scarf. These informative and entertaining talks begin at 6:30 and will provide ticket-holders with deeper insight into the evening’s program. \nIndividual tickets are available for $30–$75. CMMB’s Kids Up Front & Free! program offers free tickets for young music lovers (grades 3–12) and music teachers. Discounted tickets ($15) are available for chaperones. Active members of the military and full-time students are eligible for discounts. \nTickets can be purchased online at www.chambermusicmontereybay.org or by calling the CMMB office at 831-625-2212\, Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information and to stay updated on all events and ticket sales\, visit the website. \nContact: Chamber Music Monterey Bay\nPhone: 831-625-2212\nEmail: info@chambermusicmontereybay.org\nWebsite: www.chambermusicmontereybay.org
