Tchaikovsky's Souvenir de Florence

Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center

Saturday • Apr 26, 2025 • 3:00pm

Revel in the incredible talent of CMS musicians led by Artistic Director, David Finckel as they close CMS’s 24/25 year-round season at SPAC. The sextet lies at the center of this program, anchored by Tchaikovsky’s lush and exuberant “Souvenir de Florence”. Additional works by Bach and Strauss showcase the versatility of the six-piece ensemble while two string trios by Haydn and Schubert offer listeners an exhilarating detour from the full ensemble.
