The Passion of Carmen!

The Passion of Carmen!
September 20, 2025

Doors: 6:00 PM
Start Time: 7:30 PM

Richmond audience favorite Chia-Hsuan Lin returns to begin the new season with music by Taiwanese American composer, Ke-Chia Chen. “Lyrical and delicate,” is how The Philadelphia Enquirer has defined her sound. A Lasting Bond is a galloping, soaring hymn to a vanishing native culture. The sultry passion and unforgettable melodies of Carmen beguile throughout the orchestral suites drawn from Bizet’s mesmerizing masterwork. The Concert Piece for Four Horns by Robert Schumann is one of the most unique concertos in the repertoire, and one of the most thrilling especially when performed by four of music’s top players: The American Horn Quartet. “The finest brass chamber ensemble in the world,” declares the American Record Guide.
