Sunkiss'd Mozart: TWO BROTHERS for 2 Dueling Violins
Saturday November 21, 2026 at 4:00pm | Original Home Concerts
Two brothers – both for Saber and for glass; the sibling combo of bonded comrades and fierce rivals. They squabble and cajole but also lift and inspire, much like two violinists playing together, and perhaps, like Poland and Hungary as well. Is it going to be a duet or a duel? Join us to find out as we open our 7th season of Original Home Concerts with two dueling violinists Tien-Hsin Cindy Wu and Eunice Kim.

Sunday January 17, 2027 at 4:00pm | Original Home Concerts
Few words conjure more imagery, mystery, poetry and pure magic than “Gypsy”. Even fewer instruments express the wild spirit of all things Gypsy better than the violin. Take a trip to Gypsy town with a wilder-than-usual Tien-Hsin Cindy Wu, if that’s even possible! Buckle up for a dazzling, free-spirited romp through the music of this madly talented culture.

Sunkiss'd Mozart: FROM HONEY TO ASHES for Violin and Guitar
Tuesday February 9, 2027 at 6pm | Peninsula Series
A museum is a collection of viewpoints. Each work opens a portal to the artist’s gaze, and we find ourselves looking at their world; real and interpreted, vast and minuscule, the grand and the banalité. In a musical voyage inspired by the museum’s exhibitions and anchored by Piazzolla’s heart-throbbing Histoire du Tango, we honor the remarkable humans whose paths and passions illuminate our understanding of the many perspectives from which we can view our world

Sunkiss'd Mozart: THE MUSIC BOX by "the Chef Quartet"
Saturday March 20, 2027 at 4pm | Original Home Concerts
Taking their name from our signature Omakase (“Chef’s Choice”) style of music-making, our very own Chef Quartet takes on another “Mount Everest” from the chamber music cannon. This cast of Sunkiss’d Mozart favorites – Cindy, Yuri, David and Tanya – push emotional depth to the very edge, testing the boundaries of their endurance. And all the while, at the heart of this intense and enormously gratifying piece, is the sound of a child’s music box.

Hop into the musical playground with us as we explore the art of whimsy, the romantic folly of musical pranksters, the lighthearted silliness of opera buffa and the irreverent cheek of music meant to make us chuckle.

Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival
A note from the Artistic Director, Paul Watkins:
“In imagining our 28th season, I was inspired by a T.S. Eliot poem, “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.” I gave particular attention to these lines:
Time for you and time for me
And time yet for a hundred indecisions
And for a hundred visions and revisions
Before the taking of a toast and tea.
Over our 27-year evolution, the Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival always celebrated the past by pushing toward the future. I hope that is evident in the planned 2021 Festival programming, where we explore how the work of old masters inspires future generations of performers and composers.
Just as we look back for inspiration, we look forward with creativity. In support of great music, this year’s Festival presents a new visual image that recognizes our successes while embracing our future. Our logo has evolved, and we are celebrating our vibrant city by featuring the work of a beloved Detroit visual artist, Allie McGhee.
In his piece above, called “Ring a Ding,” McGhee contemplates the ellipse of human evolution, and – in his way – explores how symbols draw us into art and move us along. It’s the same path for music, a journey that will inspire our performers, and hopefully our audiences, in 2021.
Together we’ll share great concerts and hopefully in the end, take our toast and tea.”

Sunkiss'd Mozart | Aubade - Songs of Dawn
An aubade is a song or a poem greeting the arrival of the dawn. The third concert of Sunkiss'd Mozart is about a unique journey of string trios for violin, viola, and cello that is filled with stories and energies of the sun. It brightens our path, warms our souls, and vitalizes the world. And everyday it brings us a refreshed beginning of hope.
