Trio in E Flat Major, Op. 71 L. Van Beethoven/arr. Rechtman Adagio-Allegro 1770-1827

As always, the concert will be presented in the First Presbyterian Church of Yellow Springs and followed by an in-person question-and-answer session. It will be subsequently broadcast on WDPR and WGUC, allowing you to enjoy an encore performance. Broadcast dates will be announced at the concert.

Don’t wait to get your tickets for the CMYS season launch on Sunday, September 20, 2026, 4 p.m., with the Calidore String Quartet!

The Washington Post described this outstanding quartet as musicians who “speak, breathe, think and feel as one.” Lauded by The Los Angeles Times for performances that are “astonishing…the kind of sublimity other quartets spend a lifetime searching for,” the Quartet is distinguished by its expressive depth, commanding precision and interpretive clarity. The New York Times says they bring “deep reserves of virtuosity and irrepressible dramatic instinct” to each performance.

Single tickets are still $30 - online at cmys.org or at the door. Admission for persons 25 and under remains free.

This fabulous concert will be presented in the First Presbyterian Church of Yellow Springs and followed by an in-person question-and-answer session. They’ll be subsequently broadcast on WDPR and WGUC, allowing you to enjoy an encore performance. Broadcast dates will be announced at each concert.
