Ensemble Connect by Fadi Kheir
Carnegie Hall’s dynamic chamber group Ensemble Connect is renowned for “fresh, exciting performances charged with creativity, energy, and daring” (New York Classical Review). Its wonderful stylistic range is highlighted in Denibée-Yucuñana, a brisk, four-movement tribute to Oaxaca-born painter Rufino Tamayo by Gabriela Ortiz, holder of the 2024–2025 Debs Composer’s Chair. In a nod to 2024’s worldwide Year of Czech Music celebration, the program also features a rare performance of Martinů’s Nonet. The concert concludes with Mozart’s grand String Quintet in C Major, K. 515, an ambitious later work for string quartet and additional viola.
