Music at Amherst 2024–2025
Your Music at Amherst Series is excited to announce the 2024–2025 season’s lineup!
The season starts on October 4, 2024 with critically acclaimed pianist Emmanuel Ax bringing his signature eloquence to a program of three of Beethoven’s timeless piano sonatas, each brimming with a virtuosic richness that contrasts the sparse, modern innovations found in short pieces by Schoenberg. On November 15, you’ll experience 7-string guitar player, Yamandu Costa, for our exciting new partnership with The Drake. Costa is credited with reviving Brazilian Guitar. Rounding out the fall, the ever-evolving Juilliard String Quartet returns to Buckley Recital Hall on December 6 with Schubert’s String Quartet No. 15 in G Major, D. 887 and the Mozart Clarinet Quintet K. 581.
After winter break, M@A returns February 21 with a recital by rising dramatic tenor, Limmie Pulliam, who comes to us after recent debuts with the Gewandhaus Orchester, Metropolitan Opera, Cleveland Orchestra and The Philadelphia Orchestra under the baton of Yannick Nézét-Seguin.
He is followed by The Harlem Chamber Players with star guest, David Krakauer, clarinet, on April 4, performing works by Rhiannon Giddens, Frederick Tillis, Sergei Prokofiev and Osvaldo Golijov. Last but not least, we take you back to The Drake on April 25, to enjoy a sensational performance by Allison Miller’s Boom Tic Boom. Known by critics as a modern jazz icon in the making, Miller artistry on the drums is one you wouldn’t want to miss.
All of this, right on your doorstep!
