Chamber Music: Curtis on Tour featuring Nicholas Canellakis, cello

Curtis on Tour is the global touring initiative of America’s most selective conservatory, the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. Cellist Nicholas Canellakis leads this program centered around the Dohnányi Sextet for the unique combination of piano, violin, viola, cello, clarinet, and horn. Canellakis and emerging artists will open the program with virtuosic duos by Schumann and Halvorsen (variations on a theme by Handel) and the lyrical Brahms Clarinet Trio. The program concludes with Dohnányi’s gorgeous, expansive Sextet for winds, strings, and piano.
