We open our season with a stellar string quartet. LiveARTS is thrilled to host these four talented players joining forces especially for this occasion. Two of them have given incredible recitals before on our stage: Mihail Jojatu, cellist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and violist Don Krishnaswami. Joining them on violin is Ala Jojatu, wife of Mr. Jojatu, and Alexander Velinzon, Assistant Concert Master for the BSO. The highlight of the program will be the world premiere of Mr. Krishnaswami's String Quartet No. 1. |

| Ms. Fortunato (click photo for more info) has long been an admired favorite on the American orchestral-concert scene, appearing with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and New York Philharmonic, among others, while also establishing herself as a respected operatic artist with such companies as the New York City Opera, Glimmerglass, and Boston Lyric Opera. The highlight of this gala vocal chamber recital will be Mr. Owens' vocal work, Raking the Snow, as well as the charming seasonal Trois Chants de Noël, by Swiss composer Frank Martin. Other selections will include songs by Handel, Brahms, Fauré, and Pinkham. |

| Dubbing themselves "Duo Musagète", these two young men won top honors at last year's New England Conservatory Honors Ensemble competition. Having studied with the masters, they are the next-generation virtuosos in their fields. Some of their recent collaborations feature pieces by Bach, Haydn, de Falla, and the American contemporary composer Robert Beaser. Program TBA. (Click Mr. Mouffe's photo to visit his website.) |

| A LiveARTS favorite returns! Ms. Raim, a pianist of uncommon grace, sophistication, and technical prowess, is once again sure to enthrall as she takes on works by Schubert, Rachmaninoff, and Scarlatti. Raim was unanimously chosen as the First Prize winner of the Clara Haskil International Piano Competition and has been acclaimed for her concerto and recital appearances throughout the US and abroad. She is a graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music, where she studied with masters Rudolf Serkin and Mieczyslaw Horszowski. |
