Three Voices in the Night

Welcome to the 2026–2027 season of Benicia Chamber Players! We kick off the season with Three Voices in the Night, an all-string trio program celebrating all things three: three serenades, three voices, and three composers in their youth.

This program takes inspiration from the serenade, a musical piece or performance expressing love for someone. Traditionally performed outdoors at night, the serenade brings to mind the classic image of a musician playing beneath the balcony of their beloved. The string trios by Beethoven, Kodály, and Dohnányi trace the evolution of the serenade, from its origins as lighthearted evening entertainment to a late-Romantic, folk-inflected tribute to the tradition that came before it.

Performers:

Lisa Lee, violin

Nao Kubota, viola

Brady Anderson, cello
