American pianist-composer, Michael Stephen Brown, is joined by fellow Avery Fischer Career Grant winner, violinist Kristin Lee, in a program that journeys through American chamber music – from the virtuosic brilliance of Fritz Kreisler, the rhythmic energy of John Adams, and the nostalgic warmth of Charles Ives to the mystical depth of Ernest Bloch, and more. The performance is part of Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center's residency at InConcert Sierra.
