A 30-year anniversary is known as the pearl anniversary: beautiful, precious, and gradually formed over time. For three decades, you've shared in the Winter Chamber Music Festival's extraordinary performances, and we invite you to be a part of its continuing story as we celebrate 30 years of musical connection. Warm your winter evenings with radiant performances by the Isidore, Viano, and Ying quartets as well as collaborations between Bienen faculty and special guests. ✨ http://spr.ly/6181BEs25c
