Artistic Partners Samantha Sinai (cello) and Andrea Rackl (piano) come together to create a celebration of darkness in music. The program comes at a time of year when it can be easy to bemoan the dark. We’ll instead lean into it through the beautiful minds of Brahms, Faure, Chopin, Rackl, and more.
