About this Performer
At just 17, American violinist Amaryn Olmeda is already carving out an extraordinary career.

With dazzling agility, heartfelt lyricism, and a magnetic stage presence, Olmeda is making her mark as one of classical music’s most exciting emerging talents.
About this Performer
Chicago’s Third Coast Percussion and dancer-choreographers Lil Buck and Jon Boogz (together known as Movement Art Is) began this project remotely during the COVID-19 lockdown, a time that gave a special resonance to ideas of shared human experience. The result is a groundbreaking collaboration that weaves contemporary percussion music with distinct and powerful dance styles. At its heart, the work dramatizes the growth, resilience, and self-expression of two young men, offering an intimate journey that is as thought-provoking as it is visually and musically compelling.

About this Performer
Théo Ould has revitalized the accordion’s place on the concert stage: performing iconic piano works in a different light, commissioning bold new pieces, and crafting programs that transport audiences across continents and centuries. In this program, he pays tribute to composer and bandoneonist Astor Piazzolla, pairing that composer’s works with his “obsessions,” inspirations, contemporaries, and current-day composers inspired by the tango master.
