The 30th Anniversary season concludes with a program featuring three new works and a soloist from the 2020 Irving M. Klein International String Competition.
This program features cellist Jiaxun Yao, an up-and-coming artist and winner from the 2020 Irving M. Klein International String Competition. Founded in 1985, it is recognized as one of the world's leading competitions for young string musicians. Open to string players ages fifteen to twenty-three, the competition takes place every June in San Francisco, California.

Cycles by Kendrick Tri Huynh,
Refuge by Kerry Lewis
and Doom, Gloom and Zoom by Mona Lyn Reese, featuring Philip Brezina on fiddle.
