The incredible Lysander Piano Trio, known for their “polished and spirited interpretations” (New York Times), will continue our 59th Season at Sunset Center on January 10, 2026. The Lysander has spent over a decade performing around the United States, with more than 100 highly-acclaimed appearances at notable venues. They are now performing for the first time in Chamber Music Monterey Bay’s concert series. Lauded by The Strad as exhibiting “[i]ncredible ensemble, passionate playing, articulate and imaginative ideas and a wide palette of colors,” we are thrilled to introduce this exciting ensemble to our Peninsula audience.
Chamber Music Monterey Bay shares the Trio’s dedication to inventive programming, finding connections between works from all over the world, and uncovering lesser-known gems of the repertoire from the past to the present. The program will include piano trios by Udi Perlman (a Lysander commission), MieczyslawWeinberg, and Antonín Dvorák.
The Lysander ensemble displays what the Washington Post termed “an uncommon degree of heart-on-the-sleeve emotional frankness” – a quality Chamber Music Monterey Bay’s season artists are known for. We hope you will join us in welcoming them at their first appearance in Carmel.
The concert will be preceded by a 30-minute talk by Bay Area musicologist Ian Scarf. These informative and entertaining talks begin at 6:30 and will provide ticket-holders with deeper insight into the evening’s program.
Individual tickets are available for $30–$75. CMMB’s Kids Up Front & Free! program offers free tickets for young music lovers (grades 3–12) and music teachers. Discounted tickets ($15) are available for chaperones. Active members of the military and full-time students are eligible for discounts.
