South Florida Symphony Orchestra

Chen, Roberto Henriquez, Claudio Jaffe and Mei Mei Luo, with Catherine Lan (not pictured), will perform as part of South Florida Symphony Orchestra’s Summer Chamber Music Series beginning May 26 in Coral Gables.

South Florida Symphony Orchestra (SFSO) will launch its Summer Chamber Music Series on May 26 at Coral Gables Congregational United Church of Christ in Miami. This series will offer music lovers a chance to enjoy the classics in a more personal, intimate atmosphere.

The Summer Program I will feature Huifang Chen (violin), Mei Mei Luo (violin), Roberto Henriquez (viola), Claudio Jaffe (cello) and Catherine Lan (piano) performing Beach’s Piano Quintet in F sharp minor, Op 67 and Brahms’ Piano Quintet in F minor, Op. 34

Amy Beach, a pioneering American composer, was first successful American female composer of large-scale art music in America, and the most performed composer of her generation. SFSO’s musicians will perform her Piano Quintet in F sharp minor, Op 67, a piece built on a theme drawn from Brahms’s piano quintet. The most widely performed of her chamber works, critics described the quintet as “truly modern” and “distinctly rhapsodic … in the fashion of our time, a work of poignant beauty, rich in exquisite melodies and lush harmonies."

Upcoming Miami concerts include:

Summer Program II featuring Askar Salimdjanov (violin) and Tamila Salimdjanova (piano) performing Beethoven’s Violin Sonata No.1 in D major Op. 12 No.1, Strauss’ Violin Sonata in E-flat major, Op. 18, Frolov, Gershwin’s Concert Fantasy on Themes from Gershwin's “Porgy and Bess’ and Waxman’s Carmen Fantasie on Saturday, June 25, at Temple Israel of Greater Miami (37 NE 19th Street).
