Playing works by Beethoven and Arensky, violinist Tessa Lark and cellist Alice Yoo join artistic director and pianist Andrew Armstrong for a very special return to your museum’s chamber music series.

The British are coming! The Barbicans bring some of England’s greatest music to Main Street. An impossibly brief survey of British composers, from 17th-century Henry Purcell to 20th-century Benjamin Britten, runs the emotional and artistic gamut with the Barbican String Quartet — featuring Amarins Wierdsma and Kate Maloney on violin, Christoph Slenczka on viola, and Yoanna Prodanova on cello.

Dubbed by artistic director Andrew Armstrong as “The Kaleidescope Concert,” this third show of the season features “one of two great valveless horn players in the Western Hemisphere,” R.J. Kelley. Kelley joins Armstrong on piano, Alexander Fiterstein on clarinet, Amy Schwartz Moretti on violin, Gabriela Diaz on viola, and Raphael Bell on cello.

For the final program of the season, artistic director Andrew Armstrong advises concertgoers to expect the unexpected.
