The 2025 Summer Music Festival opens with an exciting and varied chamber music program. A string quintet by Classical master Haydn opens the concert, followed by American composer Florence Price's piano quintet. Works by Czech composer Erwin Schulhoff and Hungarian composer Ernő Dohnányi are lesser known but equally as incredible and round out this opening concert.
