SUMMARY:Aaron Diehl
DESCRIPTION:Pianist Aaron Diehl has quietly redefined the boundary between jazz and classical music\, building an international career distinguished by stylistic fluency\, intellectual rigor\, and a deep sense of musical lineage. Praised for his “melodic precision\, harmonic erudition\, and elegant restraint” (The New York Times)\, Diehl is increasingly recognized as a singular voice whose work moves freely across genres while remaining grounded in historical awareness. He has worked extensively with figures such as Tyshawn Sorey\, Timo Andres\, Philip Glass\, and Cécile McLorin Salvant\, forging projects that span concerti\, chamber music\, orchestral works\, and jazz performance. In 2023\, Diehl was named as the Artistic Director of 92NY’s Jazz in July Festival\, succeeding the legendary Bill Charlap.

SUMMARY:Calidore String Quartet
DESCRIPTION:The Calidore String Quartet has been recognized for achieving an extraordinary cohesion of individual artistry and collective expression — what The Washington Post described as “four more individual musicians are unimaginable\, yet these speak\, breathe\, think and feel as one.” Their artistry reflects a profound engagement with both the classical canon and the evolving language of 21st-century chamber music.

SUMMARY:WindSync
DESCRIPTION:Over nearly two decades of performing\, WindSync has proven itself “a major force in the American chamber music landscape” (Arts and Culture Texas)\, leaping from prizewinning Concert Artists Guild and Fischoff performances to the stages of Carnegie Hall\, the Library of Congress\, Metropolitan Museum of Art and more. Breaking the “fourth wall” between performers and audience\, WindSync’s dynamic performance style incorporates memorization and storytelling to showcase the expressive range of the flute\, oboe\, clarinet\, French horn and bassoon. \nThe quintet brings Boone a summery set of classical music with an American accent\, inflected with folk\, jazz and minimalism. Also featured is Mozart’s Serenade in C minor\, a dramatic masterpiece of classical music.

SUMMARY:Merz Trio
DESCRIPTION:Hailed as “entrancing” (BBC Music Magazine) and “artists in the deepest sense of the word” (CutCommon)\, Merz Trio\, winners of the Naumburg\, Concert Artists Guild\, Fischoff and Chesapeake Competitions\, and recipients of a Salon de Virtuosi Career Grant\, have been lauded for their “stunning virtuosity… fresh and surprising interpretations” (Reading Eagle)\, and “perfection of intonation and ensemble” (Hudson Review). Merz Trio are passionately committed to reshaping the narrative of classical music through vibrantly dynamic programming and wide-ranging interdisciplinary collaboration. Their narrative programming style juxtaposes classical standards\, new music\, and their own arrangements of familiar and forgotten works\, fluidly interwoven and guided with speaking from the Trio’s members.
