Festival Finale - Missouri Chamber Music Festival
Season 8 of the Missouri Chamber Music Festival explores instrumental partnerships from the seemingly disparate to the obviously kindred. From “Duo” which highlights an unusual pairing of vibraphone and cello amidst a like-minded partnering of pianos, to the Festival Finale which is rich with contrasts throughout, each concert of the 2018 Festival displays an unusual musical relationship. Works of MOCM’s featured composer, Martin Bresnick, appear throughout the Festival and showcase the voice of a modern master. We look forward to sharing each of these diverse, carefully curated programs with you!
