The Silver Jubilee Season | CONCERT I
Expanding Horizons
Opening Night of the Silver Jubilee Season. Founding artists, new horizons.
FOUNDING ARTISTS. NEW HORIZONS.
Five founding artists reunite to open our 25th anniversary season.
Music of Haydn, Valerie Coleman, André Previn, and Shostakovich joins James Lee III's Lament.Sing.Arise, written for Kelly Hall-Tompkins and Terrence Wilson and premiered by RCP at the Library of Congress.
The Silver Jubilee opens with the spirit of discovery that has defined RCP from the beginning: familiar masterworks placed in conversation with voices and traditions that reveal just how expansive chamber music can be.
