SUMMARY:Chamber Music Sedona Presents The Brentano Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Chamber Music Sedona is pleased to present the Brentano Quartet in concert on Sunday\, March 22\, 2026 at 3 p.m. at the Sedona Hilton (90 Ridge Trail Drive\, Sedona\, Arizona 86351). Considered one of the world’s most revered string ensembles\, the Brentano Quartet will offer an inspiring program that bridges classical masterworks with inventive contemporary music. \nDescribed by The New Yorker as “fiercely intelligent and expressively pristine\,” the Brentano Quartet – which consists of violinists Mark Steinberg and Serena Canin\, violist Misha Amory and cellist Nina Lee – has been a defining force in chamber music for more than three decades. Known for its probing interpretations\, thoughtfully curated programs and a sound of remarkable depth and refinement\, the ensemble has performed across five continents at the world’s most prestigious venues and festivals\, earning both critical acclaim and devoted audiences. \nThe March 22 program at Chamber Music Sedona reflects the Quartet’s signature blend of tradition and innovation. Schubert’s emotionally charged “A minor Quartet” and Beethoven’s radiant “Op. 59\, No. 3” — one of the composer’s groundbreaking “Razumovsky” quartets — frame “Machine\, Learning” by composer Timo Andres\, a work that brings a contemporary perspective to the enduring string quartet form. \nThroughout their distinguished career\, the Brentano Quartet has collaborated with some of today’s most celebrated artists\, including Jessye Norman\, Joyce DiDonato\, Mitsuko Uchida and Jonathan Biss. Their extensive discography includes Beethoven’s “Op. 131\,” famously featured in the film “A Late Quartet\,” as well as acclaimed recordings of Mozart\, Haydn and contemporary repertoire. The ensemble is named after Antonie Brentano\, widely believed to be Beethoven’s “Immortal Beloved\,” underscoring their enduring connection to the heart of the quartet tradition. \nFor more information and to purchase tickets for the Brentano Quartet concert\, please visit https://chambermusicsedona.org/2026-brentano-quartet/.

SUMMARY:Neko Case | Supporting Artist: Destroyer
DESCRIPTION:Music of terrifying beauty from a potent and evocative voice \nFor more than 25 years\, Neko Case’s ferocious indie-rock and country-noir sound has swelled and shrunk to fit the mood\, but the walloping impact of the universes she creates has never wavered. Listening to Case’s music will teach you about this world—human nature’s cruelty\, perseverance\, and terrifying beauty\, but the natural world as well—the moon and the stars\, bees\, lions\, and magpies. Should you encounter a wayward soul who has never heard her music\, you might respond\, “Well\, she once sang from the perspective of a tornado\,” as if to say: there’s no physical form that could stop her potent voice and evocative storytelling.
