Live music is a fantastic way to start a weekend, and it's hard to beat Beethoven and Brahms.
Whether you’re a seasoned classical music aficionado or a newcomer to the genre, this event promises an unforgettable and breathtaking experience. Pianist Alison Lee and cellist Isaac Pastor-Chermak are among Northern California’s most prominent musical “power couples” of their generation.

Passion rules in Brahms’ Cello Sonata No. 2, which was written while summering in the Swiss Alps. It’s a piece that speaks directly to the human spirit - fiery to the point of vehemence, sometimes defiantly challenging, sometimes painfully lamenting.
Beethoven’s Sonata No. 2 for Piano and Cello provides an equally captivating musical journey that transcends time and leaves a lasting impression on your heart and soul - to stir your emotions and nourish your spirit. Its universal themes of love, passion, and struggle make it timeless and relatable.
In addition to these two masterworks, we'll hear the delightful 2023 composition, "Roll," which explores the vertical and the horizontal meanings of the word - the "roll" of rolling a chord, and the "roll" of being on a roll.
