SUMMARY:Himari Plays Sibelius + Tchaikovsky 5
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’ 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. Composer Carter Pann also unveils a brand new piece of music to celebrate the start of the Festival season\, written as a tribute to long-time Festival supporter Ralph “Chris” Christoffersen.

SUMMARY:Tchaikovsky’s Souvenir de Florence
DESCRIPTION:The Robert Mann Chamber Music Series continues with a world premiere by “astonishingly innovative” composer James Stephenson (Musical America); while he writes deftly “in all walks of the musical landscape\,” his new quartet features trumpet and strings. Following intermission\, Tchaikovsky remembers Italy — by way of Russia\, of course — in an irresistible sextet for strings\, his final contribution to chamber music.

SUMMARY:Pianist Michelle Cann + Symphonie Fantastique
DESCRIPTION:Audiences raved about pianist Michelle Cann’s Festival debut in 2023; now Cann returns to Chautauqua to perform a world premiere piano concerto by esteemed composer Valerie Coleman. After intermission\, Berlioz invites us on a psychedelic romp: his Symphonie fantastique is a musical hallucination that evokes dark revels\, an execution\, and a visit to the underworld.
