SUMMARY:Holst’s The Planets
DESCRIPTION:Music Director Peter Oundjian helms one of music’s grandest spectacles: Holst’s The Planets. From the hammering “Mars\, the Bringer of War” to the ethereal “Neptune\, the Mystic\,” this seven-planet suite lures the heavens into Chautauqua Auditorium. Electrifying pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii performs Rachmaninoff’s dreamy Second Piano Concerto. This monumental program begins with the world premiere by Leigha Amick\, a composer who aims “to spark intellectual curiosity and express human experience.”

SUMMARY:Beethoven & Stravinsky
DESCRIPTION:The Robert Mann Chamber Music Series continues with a program featuring the Festival’s own musicians. Beethoven’s only quintet for piano and wind is rife with rhapsodic dialogue between its instruments. In Stravinsky’s bitter L’Histoire du Soldat\, a WWI soldier makes a deal with the devil in order to know the future\, but — after a rousing story animated by music — the cunning devil keeps the upper hand.

SUMMARY:Mozart: Haffner\, Night Music\, & More
DESCRIPTION:Music Director Peter Oundjian begins this all-Mozart marvel with a mysterious serenade for winds\, which broods before turning suddenly buoyant. At the keyboard for Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 20 is Tony Siqi Yun\, a nuanced performer who plays with “every note personalized” (Musical America). Closing this revel of Mozart’s genius is his Haffner Symphony\, a staggering work of energy and invention.

SUMMARY:All American: Copland\, Gershwin\, & More

After the break: Ron Nelson’s paean to the South’s Savannah River\, a haunting adagio by “unmistakably American-sounding” Cindy McTee (Washington Post)\, and finally George Gershwin’s jazzy symphonic poem An American in Paris.

DESCRIPTION:The 2026 Festival opens with a once-in-a-generation violinist: Himari\, a 14-year-old phenomenon who has already collected substantial awards and recognition\, performs Sibelius’s Concerto for Violin\, full of Nordic snow and moody skies. Just as Sibelius invokes his native Finland\, Tchaikovsky’s dramatic Fifth Symphony is infused with Russian colors.

SUMMARY:Mahler 9
DESCRIPTION:Music Director Peter Oundjian continues his tradition of closing the Festival season with a massive Mahler symphony. Composer Alban Berg once wrote of Mahler’s Ninth\, “The first movement is the greatest Mahler ever composed. It is the expression of a tremendous love for this earth\, the longing to live on it peacefully and to enjoy nature to its deepest depths – before death comes.” The myriad colors of life are present in the mighty Ninth\, throughout which Mahler grieves\, dances\, basks in sunlight\, and ultimately reflects on the enormity of it all.

SUMMARY:Yang Plays Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez
DESCRIPTION:Classical guitarist Xuefei Yang\, known for her “feisty virtuosity\, impeccable technique and sensitive musicianship” (New York Times)\, performs Rodrigo’s florid Concierto de Aranjuez; Rodrigo set out to evoke “the fragrance of magnolias\, the singing of birds\, and the gushing of fountains” of a royal estate in the Spanish city of Aranjuez. Kodály’s beguiling Dances of Galánta\, which adapts sprightly Hungarian folk tunes\, makes an exuberant dance partner for Rodrigo’s Concierto. After intermission\, Schubert breaks free of classical conventions with his light and airy Fifth Symphony.

DESCRIPTION:Beethoven’s Third Piano Concerto finds the composer moving toward his own personal style\, displaying what would become his hallmark drama\, spirit\, and agitation; pianist Yeol Eum Son brings a “fearlessly fast articulation” (The Times) to the stage.

SUMMARY:Mozart & Dvořák
DESCRIPTION:The Robert Mann Chamber Music Series continues with a spotlight on the Festival’s own musicians. Mozart once considered his Quintet in E-Flat for Piano and Winds “the best work I have ever written;” its sense of spontaneity is beguiling. Dvořák’s Third String Quartet was one of his most successful compositions; like much of his most popular work\, Op. 97 is flavored with melodies and rhythms he heard while visiting America\, including various folk tunes and Native American drumming. The program begins with Nico Muhly’s minimalist Doublespeak\, which was written as a gift for composer Philip Glass’ birthday and teems with stylistic rhythms and repetitions.  \nNote: To create a more intimate experience\, the number of seats available for chamber concerts is different than for our orchestral concerts. All price levels\, including our lowest\, are available in the main section of the auditorium.

DESCRIPTION:Known for dominating international cello competitions\, Hayoung Choi possesses a talent not to be missed; here Choi performs Tchaikovsky’s Variations on a Rococo Theme\, an elegant staple of cello repertoire. Guest conductor Maurice Cohn returns to the Chautauqua stage to lead Beethoven’s classically-styled First Symphony\, the symphonic debut that established the composer as the luminary we know him as today. The program opens with Respighi’s five playful attempts to transcribe the sounds of doves\, cuckoos\, nightingales\, and more. \n

SUMMARY:Brentano String Quartet
DESCRIPTION:By popular demand\, the Brentano String Quartet — Ensemble-in-Residence at the Yale School of Music — returns to the Robert Mann Chamber Music Series. The Times (London) raves\, “Balance and intonation reach an almost unearthly level of perfection\, yet there’s nothing inhuman about these American musicians.” Brentano’s Romantic program includes Webern’s abstract Five Movements for String Quartet\, Brahms’ sunny Third String Quartet\, and Schubert’s poetic A-Minor Quartet\, which borrows a theme from his incidental music to the play Rosamunde.  \nNote: To create a more intimate experience\, the number of seats available for chamber concerts is different than for our orchestral concerts.
