Camerata Pacifica: William Bolcom, Frédéric Chopin, and Lara Auerbach

Camerata Pacifica wraps up its 2024–25 season with a truly dynamic trio of composers—William Bolcom, Frédéric Chopin, and Lera Auerbach—showcasing the collective’s signature range, versatility, and fearless programming. Known for pushing the envelope of classical chamber music, Camerata Pacifica dives headfirst into Bolcom’s Orphée-Sérénade, a witty and whimsical ride that dances between lyrical beauty and propulsive energy. It’s an irreverent opener that sets the tone for an evening full of surprises.

Then, prepare to be swept away by Principal Pianist Irina Zahharenkova as she takes center stage with Chopin’s dazzling Andante spianato et Grande polonaise brillante, a piece that delivers both technical fireworks and soulful richness. Finally, the program—and the season—concludes with Lera Auerbach’s Dreammusik, written specifically for Camerata Pacifica and featuring Principal Cellist Ani Aznavoorian. It’s a powerful, emotionally charged work that closes the curtain on a bold season with depth and resonance.

With a world-class ensemble of musicians, this finale promises an unforgettable afternoon of musical storytelling that spans eras, styles, and emotional landscapes.
