The Quintet for Piano and Strings by César Franck. The gala concert also features a performance of Bach's
Double Violin Concerto (in D minor), performed by incoming Chamber Music Series Director
Geoff Nuttall and his wife, violinist
Livia Sohn, and a host of Spoleto Chamber musicians; Ravel's
Pavane performed by rising star
