Voices of Music with Amanda Forsythe

Thursday, February 12, 2026

Celebrate Valentine’s Day with "Love Songs from the 17th Century," a program of English and Italian music featuring internationally renowned soprano Amanda Forsythe (pictured) and Voices of Music, the all-star band of period musicians led by violinist Augusta McKay.

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. American soprano Amanda Forsythe is a Grammy Award winner and a regular soloist with many acclaimed baroque ensembles, including Les Talens Lyriques, Handel and Haydn Society, Boston Baroque, Early Music Vancouver, and Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra.

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 sonatas by Debussy and Chopin as well as a rarely played sonata by Benjamin Britten composed for Mstislav Rostropovich.

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.
