This Valentine's weekend, experience chamber music that celebrates the emotional depth and passion of the Romantic era. Schubert’s Introduction and Allegro opens the evening with a graceful yet vibrant dialogue, setting the tone for Barber’s Cello Sonata, a heartfelt exploration of love and longing between cello and piano. The program culminates with Brahms' Piano Quartet No. 1, a sweeping, dramatic work that captures the full spectrum of romantic emotions—perfect for a night of passion, connection, and musical intimacy. 

Join Juilliard-trained classical pianist Yvonne Chen on this exhilarating program as she shares the stage with today’s leading musicians: Douglas DeVries, flute, Haerim Liz Lee, violin, Matthew Cohen, viola, and Eunghee Cho, cello.
