Piano and cello masterworks - with a world premiere by composer Jean Ahn

Join Berkeley's own Isaac Pastor-Chermak and Alison Lee for an afternoon of greatest hits and brand-new music for cello and piano. Isaac and Alison will perform sonatas and showpieces by Beethoven and Brahms, and the world premiere of a newly commissioned work by Jean Ahn. One of the Bay Area's most prominent musical "power couples", Isaac and Alison have collaborated musically since 2016, including several performances of the complete Beethoven and complete Brahms sonatas and appearances at Calliope and St. Alban's individually and as a duo. Jean Ahn is a music faculty member at UC Berkeley and director of Ensemble ARI, which performed on Calliope's 2021-22 season.

Each of the three pieces on their program represents the friendship and collaboration between composers and performers: Beethoven with Jean-Louis Duport, Brahms with Robert Hausmann, and Jean Ahn with the performers directly, for a world-premiere commissioned work.
