The New Millennium Series continues our mission of presenting, at exceptional ticket prices, intimate performances by the finest chamber music ensembles and soloists in the U.S. and abroad. New Millennium’s rich history includes performances by many of the artists and ensembles that have shaped the classical chamber music tradition over the last half-century, including legendary pianist Gilbert Kalish, the Emerson quartet, violinists Sarah Chang and Hilary Hahn, and many others. We hope to see you at this season's concerts!
Telegraph Quartet
Tuesday, March 3, 2026
Winners of the prestigious Walter W. Naumburg Chamber Music Award and the Grand Prize at the Fischoff Chamber Music Competition, Telegraph Quartet brings an equal passion for the standard chamber music repertoire and contemporary, non-standard works. The New York Times described their playing as “full of elegance and pinpoint control…” The ensemble will perform a concert program featuring the expressive and thematically inspired String Quartet No. 7 in F Major, Op. 59 No. 1 by Beethoven and Kenji Bunch’s String Quartet No. 5.
David Finckel and Wu Han
Monday, March 30, 2026
Chamber music visionaries, ambassadors, impresarios, and virtuosos—as co-directors of both Music at Menlo and the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center–cellist David Finckel and pianist Wu Han are a ubiquitous presence on both coasts. The energy they bring to their leadership in the arts is matched only by the powerful synergy of their duo performances. These superb artists will perform music by Beethoven and Ravel as well as J.S. Bach’s Sonata No. 1 in G Major, BWV 1027 and Benjamin Britten’s Sonata in C, Opus 65.
Calidore Quartet
Tuesday, April 28, 2026
Calidore String Quartet, winner of the Avery Fisher Career Grant, has been recognized for achieving an extraordinary cohesion of individual artistry and collective expression. Lauded by The Los Angeles Times for performances that are “astonishing…the kind of sublimity other quartets spend a lifetime searching for,” Calidore will perform two of the most compelling pieces in the string quartet repertoire: Shostakovich’s 8th quartet and Beethoven’s masterpiece, the Quartet in C-sharp Minor, Opus 131.

Voices of Music
Thursday, February 12, 2026
UPDATED - 2/9/26: due to illness, Amanda Forsythe will unfortunately be unable to perform. Voices of Music will present an updated program, which will now feature guest soprano Danielle Reutter-Harrah.
Celebrate Valentine’s Day with "Love Songs from the 17th Century," a program of English and Italian music featuring Voices of Music, the all-star band of period musicians led by violinist Augusta McKay, along with guest soprano Danielle Reutter-Harrah (pictured). Featured music includes Henry Purcell's sonatas No. 2 and No. 8, Arcangelo Corelli's Sonata in D Minor, and songs by John Blow, Giovanni Felice Sances, Barbara Strozzi, and Purcell.
Currently the most popular early music ensemble in America, San Francisco-based Voices of Music performs renaissance and baroque music. While their stylistic and interpretative choices reflect authentic historical performance practice, the ensemble is also a pioneer in modern digital technology for the arts: 100,000 people watch their concert videos each day, resulting in more than thirty million views every year.
Soprano Danielle Reutter-Harrah, known for her “expressive, silvery voice and outstanding technical finesse” (Classical Sonoma) is a soprano specializing in baroque music. She most recently sang as the soprano soloist in Vivaldi’s Gloria and Bach’s Cantata No. 147 “Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben” with Music at Epiphany. Last June she reprised the role of Vespetta in Telemann’s comedic two-person opera Pimpinone for the 2025 Boston Early Music Festival which she performed with “delicious rhythmic vitality and boisterous fun” (Boston Observer).
