About this event

  • 1 hour 30 minutes

The Festival is thrilled to invite audiences for a night celebrating the upcoming release of a brand new album by The Lee Trio, Midsummer Night Magic. With fantasies, legends and visions threading the evening’s works, the Trio will perform works by Uljas Pulkkis and Robert Schumann from its new album alongside Dvorak’s Dumky Trio, and Schumann songs and music by Thomas Ades performed by violinist Max Tan, baritone Daniel Gutmann, and pianist Maximillian Kromer.

Prior to the concert, join us for a 6:00pm talk by Dr. Carlos Diaz Salazar of Columbia University’s Zuckerman Institute. Dr. Carlos Diaz-Salazar is a Neuroscientist at Columbia University. In this pre-concert talk, we’ll explore together the ideas of brain development, plasticity, and repair. Using his favorite brain cell (microglia) as a guide, we’ll learn about the brain’s capacity for healing and the role music plays in it. Finally, we’ll look into how brain health has shaped the course of music throughout history.


"The Lee Trio brought courage to the melody, flair for the virtuosity, depth [to the] works....This evening stood out as one of the most memorable of the Festival." - Leipziger Volkszeitung

ABOUT

Inspired by its Chelsea roots, the Festival reflects the creativity of one of New York City's most dynamic neighborhoods. Programs span musical genres ranging from classical to contemporary to jazz with a special emphasis on Festival commissions by composers whose works are not in the traditional western canon. On the digital programming front, the Festival hosts an online library of recordings so music enthusiasts, artists, and students alike can explore unique interpretations of classical, jazz, and contemporary works via high-quality videos of world-class performances and dialogues available for years to come.

Since 2010, the Chelsea Music Festival has established itself as a critically-acclaimed, accessible and interactive gateway to chamber music in non-traditional concert spaces such as art galleries, public squares, schools, and churches. Artists hail from around the world to partake in nearly two weeks of programming complete with concerts, lectures, exhibitions, family events, and free outreach performances. In 2020, the Chelsea Music Festival inaugurated its Online Encores and Online Originals digital video series on YouTube; Online Encores presents highlights from Festival archives and past concerts while Online Originals presents new and never-before-seen performances and recordings.

We are proud to give emerging voices, particularly those of women and people of color, a stage and are working to build an audience and intimate community to support a new generation of musicians, composers, and artists.
