Gidon Kremer’s talented and vibrant ensemble celebrates their twentieth anniversary with a tour that highlights work from their most recent and criticallly acclaimed albums, Chiaroscuro and New Seasons. The first program “Another Russia” includes Arvo Pärt’s signature work, Fratres. The electrifying album by Gidon Kremer made 30 years ago remains the definitive recording of the piece. Gina Kancheli’s Chiaroscuro “a compelling musical reflection on light and shade” (The Indepedent) anchors “New Seasons” an eclectic program of modern works.

“Time and again, Kremer showed us his soul and his lively imagination”
