In partnership with Music for Food, the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society presents the “genuinely exciting” (New York Times) Aizuri Quartet, violist Kim Kashkashian, and cellist Marcy Rosen in a program that explores the idea of community in a multi-faceted way. It features works by four female composers, including Indian American composer Reena Esmail, whose raag-influenced Fantasie layers the voices of the string quartet to create a beautiful, swirling world that invites players and audience into the concert experience.
