Dara Morales and MuChen Hsieh, violins; Burchard Tang and Kerri Ryan, violas; Priscilla Lee and Amy Sue Barston, cellos

Park Avenue Concerts at the PAC Center closes its 2024-2025 season with a performance of one of classical music’s greatest masterworks: theSextet in G Major by Johannes Brahms. Highlighting the apex of Brahms’ emotional depth and creative inventiveness, this work harnesses the expressive powers of its six players without equal in the musical canon. Featuring favorite performers of the series, this concert includes the Park Avenue Concerts debuts of Philadelphia Orchestra members MuChien Hsieh, Priscilla Lee, and Kerri Ryan. And to start the concert, artistic director Amy Sue Barston will perform the lovely Varsha (Rain) by composer Reena Esmail – an invocation for solo cello composed as a response to Haydn’s mystical Seven Last Words inspired by Hindustani raga that are sung to beckon rain.

REENA ESMAIL: Varsha
JOHANNES BRAHMS: Sextet in G Major
