SUMMARY:Camerata Nordica Octet
DESCRIPTION:“The Camerata Nordica are Swedish. They are also outstandingly good\, practised and magnetic in performance. Why magnetic? Because the empathy between the players is unique. They have no conductor and rely entirely upon mutual sensitivity\, deeply felt mutual intentions and good old fashioned eye contact and body language. ”—Musical Opinion (UK)\nFounded in 1974\, Camerata Nordica has become Sweden’s leading chamber orchestra. The musicians’ dynamic energy and shared musical purpose form the core of the group’s identity. The ensemble has garnered a reputation for its distinctive performance style\, captivating audiences by performing while standing up and occasionally by heart — as with Mendelssohn’s glorious Octet in E-flat Major\, Op. 20\, which will anchor the group’s first UGA Presents program. \nPart of Nordic Dream: Voices from Denmark\, Finland\, Norway\, and Sweden \nPERFORMANCE TALK\nJoin us for a free pre-performance talk by Theresa Chafin in Ramsey Concert Hall from 6:45-7:15 pm.

SUMMARY:Chris Thile
DESCRIPTION:“The afternoon carried on like this — Thile gently guiding the show like he was turning the sides of a colorful\, musical Rubik’s Cube — never once letting the air between himself and the very close audience settle on any one aspect of what he had to and was capable of offering.”—No Depression\nAcclaimed Grammy Award-winning mandolinist\, singer\, songwriter\, composer\, and MacArthur Fellow recipient of the prestigious “Genius Grant\,” Chris Thile is a multifaceted musical talent\, described by The Guardian as “that rare being: an all-round musician\,” and hailed by NPR as a “genre-defying musical genius.” Thile is a founding member of the highly influential string bands Punch Brothers and Nickel Creek\, and has collaborated with countless luminaries from Yo-Yo Ma to Fiona Apple to Brad Mehldau. For four years\, Thile hosted public radio favorite Live from Here with Chris Thile (the successor to A Prairie Home Companion). With his broad outlook\, Thile creates a distinctly American canon and a new musical aesthetic for performers and audiences alike\, giving the listener “one joyous arc\, with the linear melody and vertical harmony blurring into a single web of gossamer beauty” (New York Times). \nOver the last year\, Thile has been touring with Nickel Creek in support of the critically acclaimed 2023 release Celebrants\, and captivating audiences with a playfully ambitious biographical composition entitled ATTENTION! (a narrative song cycle for extroverted mandolinist and orchestra). \nThe wide-ranging program of Thile’s 2025-2026 solo performances will feature selections from his acclaimed solo recordings of Bach’s Sonatas and Partitas – including the upcoming second volume out this autumn – alongside his signature mix of classical\, folk and improvisational brilliance.

The Chamber Ensemble specializes in the works of the larger-scale chamber music repertoire. For its first visit to Athens since 2012\, the ensemble plans a performance featuring French composer Jean Francaix’s frisky yet delicate Octet.

SUMMARY:Symbio
DESCRIPTION:Cinematic Electro-Folk from Sweden (Nordic/Celtic)\n“Wonderful\, catchy instrumental music with melodies that associate freely around the concept of folk/trad music and seek both electronic and art musical inspiration… The sound is about mood and produces a very special kind of shimmering warmth.”—Dagens Nyheter\nSymbio is regarded as one of the most prominent new bands from today’s Nordic folk and world music scene. The magical interplay of hurdy-gurdy (a hand-cranked string instrument) and accordion\, along with an electrifying stage presence\, enables the duo to use music to paint heartfelt melodies\, dreamy soundscapes\, and hypnotic beats depicting life-affirming themes across its mesmerizing reservoir of original compositions. The result is a sound full of rhythm and mystery\, orchestrated by the symbiotic relationship of two virtuosos. \nWORKSHOP\nGo inside the music when the band discusses their music\, instruments\, and Swedish culture. Free and open to the public (tickets not required) on Thurs\, Sept 25\, 12:45-2:00 pm. Learn more here. \nPart of Nordic Dream: Voices from Denmark\, Finland\, Norway\, and Sweden

SUMMARY:Athens Choral Festival
DESCRIPTION:On June 1\, 2024 it was my distinct privilege to conduct the Mozart Requiem at Carnegie Hall in New York City\, with an assembled chorus of 150 singers from 17 states around the country. That group gave a spectacular performance of that great work.  In the weeks that followed the idea to perform another concert in Athens with that group began to be considered.  An invitation was sent and 70 singers from 10 states have accepted\, and are coming to perform in Hodgson Hall for this special event.  The music to be performed is Mozart – Solemn Vespers and Forrest – Lux: The Dawn From on High.  Both are great works by great composers.  The Vespers are bright\, melodic\, rhythmic\, and exciting\, pure Mozart.  Lux is more personal\, but with much contemplation and exultation\, employing sweeping phrases and beautiful melodies.  Please join us — both pieces are music you will want to hear! \nJoe Napoli\, conductor

SUMMARY:Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Nathalie Stutzmann\, conductor Anna Geniushene\, piano
DESCRIPTION:“The most elegant and articulate words fail to do justice to Stutzmann’s performance. She is a consummate rock star on the podium. With her precise\, yet large and wild articulations\, she doesn’t ‘conduct’ so much as she seizes the full potential of every note and wrenches it loose from the silence that preceded it.”—ArtsATL \nExperience the seismic power of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra with Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1\, the ultimate musical thrill ride that surges with staggering virtuosity\, luxuriant melodies\, and thundering orchestral verve. The ASO welcomes the sensational 2022 Van Cliburn medalist Anna Geniushene\, who plays “with an exquisite touch and an almost infinite tonal palette” (La Scena). During the second half\, Music Director Nathalie Stutzmann shifts into the kaleidoscopic world of Maurice Ravel—the ultimate orchestral colorist. Leaning into the limitless nuance of the ASO’s artistry\, she presents three works including La valse\, a haunting\, volcanic dream of a Viennese waltz. \nPERFORMANCE TALK\nJoin us for a free pre-performance talk by Arielle Crumley in Ramsey Concert Hall from 2:15-2:45 pm.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Zakir Hussain’s Masters of Percussion
DESCRIPTION:It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of Zakir Hussain (9 March 1951 – 15 December 2024). Arguably one of the greatest musicians of all time\, the multi-Grammy Award winner was also an exceptionally gracious\, humble and beautiful human being. It has been an honor to present him in concert at UGA on two occasions in the past. Our deepest condolences go to his family. His “Masters of Percussion” performance on April 10\, 2025\, has been canceled. All tickets will be refunded within the coming days. Please contact the UGA Performing Arts Center Box Office with any questions.  \n\n“A combination of theatricality\, musical heart and phenomenal virtuosity. It was over-the-top exciting.”—Seen and Heard International \nZakir Hussain is a musician of the highest order\, one whose consistently brilliant and enthralling performances have established him as a national treasure in his home country of India and one of its reigning cultural ambassadors. His playing is marked by uncanny intuition and masterful improvisational dexterity\, demonstrating a “virtuosity that is barely to be believed” (Washington Post). This cross-cultural collaborative performance combines the remarkable talents of the preeminent classical tabla virtuoso of our time with those of an impressive roster of percussionists.

SUMMARY:Benjamin Beilman\, violin Gloria Chien\, piano
DESCRIPTION:“Poised and monstrously talented.”—Philadelphia Inquirer \nBenjamin Beilman is one of the leading violinists of his generation. He has won international praise for his passionate performances and deep rich tone which the Washington Post called “mightily impressive\,” and The New York Times described as “muscular with a glint of violence.” The Times has also praised his “handsome technique\, burnished sound\, and quiet confidence\,” and the Strad described his playing as “pure poetry.” \nBeilman has appeared with major orchestras like the Philadelphia Orchestra\, Rotterdam Philharmonic\, and Zurich Tonhalle\, and is on the faculty of the Curtis Institute of Music. He is dedicated to contemporary music\, with new works by Frederic Rzewski\, Gabriella Smith\, and Jennifer Higdon\, among others. He performs on the 1740 “Ysaÿe” Guarneri del Gesù\, on loan from the Nippon Music Foundation. \nHe made his UGA recital debut in 2014 and maintains an active and illustrious career as a recitalist and musical collaborator—recently touring the United States with the Berlin Philharmonic. \nTaiwanese-born pianist Gloria Chien has one of the most diverse musical lives as a noted performer\, concert presenter\, and educator. She made her orchestral debut at the age of sixteen with the Boston Symphony Orchestra with Thomas Dausgaard\, and she performed again with the BSO with Keith Lockhart. She has performed at the UGA Performing Arts Center on two previous occasions in collaborative performances with Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and with Anthony McGill. \nThis performance replaces the previously announced concert by the Tetzlaff Quartet.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Tetzlaff Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Unfortunately\, the Tetzlaff Quartet has cancelled its U.S. tour\, including the performance at the University of Georgia on March 30. The quartet will not be rescheduled for a future date. However\, we are pleased to welcome the outstanding concert violinist Benjamin Beilman to Ramsey Hall in the quartet’s place. All tickets for the Tetzlaff Quartet’s performance will be honored for the performance by Benjamin Beilman on March 30\, 3:00 p.m. New tickets will not be issued. Please use your Teztlaff Quartet tickets to attend the performance by Benjamin Beilman.  \nFor further assistance\, please contact the UGA Performing Arts Center Box Office at (706) 542-4400. Please note that the Box Office is open this week from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. during UGA Spring Break. Regular hours will resume March 10. \n“Supremely lyrical\, exactingly detailed playing combined with impeccable balance and unanimity\, resulting in an overwhelming performance.”—New York Times \nIt’s always a pleasure to welcome a lauded\, seasoned string quartet to Athens for the first time\, and the performance by this German ensemble promises to become an instant favorite with its “superlative technique and invigorating intensity” (New York Times). The performance features pieces by two of Vienna’s superstar composers: Mozart’s Haydn-esque Quartet in E-Flat Major and Anton Webern’s bold “Five Movements.” A gem by early Romantic-era composer Felix Mendelssohn rounds out the program.
