Two artistic directors, Yi Qun Xu and Yoon Lee make her Gardner Museum debut. Hear their musical partnership is to experience chamber music-making at its finest. The program includes works by Amy Beach, a musical force to be reckoned with and contemporary of Isabella Stewart Gardner, alongside fantastical and heroic musical narratives by Janáček and Prokofiev. The cello sings like a human voice in works by Isang Yun and Yintong Liu, with Yun’s work taking its name from the Korean word for a vocal song and Liu’s piece drawing on the sounds of Chinese opera.
