Founded in 2015 by pianist Efi Hackmey and cellist Carrie Bean Stute, Chiarina brings distinctive chamber music performances and innovative programming to an intimate neighborhood setting in Capitol Hill, DC.
From the ensemble:
In this special program featuring voices of our time, we bring together first- and second-generation American composers and music inspired by common threads: remembrance, longing, and human displacement. These works connect composers, musical subjects, listeners, and their identities, allowing art to communicate experience.
