Jessica Linnebach, Sean Rice, and Carson Becke come together to perform a rich and dynamic program including Bartok’s beloved Contrasts, a violin-clarinet-piano trio based on Hungarian and Romanian dance melodies and originally commissioned by famed clarinetist Benny Goodman.

Chamberfest’s Artistic Director Carissa Klopoushak will join the artists to perform Schumann’s Märchenerzählungen, Rebecca Clarke’s “Nocturne” for 2 violins, and Skoryk’s “Melody”.
