An Evening of Mystery and brilliance with Beethoven and Mendelssohn
Red Door Chamber Music is delighted to present the Tristan Trio, whose name evokes both the legendary hero of medieval romance and the depth of expression that chamber music inspires. This evening’s program features two cornerstones of the piano trio repertoire: Beethoven’s dramatic “Ghost” Trio, with its famously mysterious slow movement, and Mendelssohn’s radiant Piano Trio No. 2 in B-flat Major, celebrated for its lyrical beauty and sparkling brilliance. Together, these works trace a vivid journey through drama, contrast, and expressive depth—ideally suited to the artistry of the Tristan Trio.
Musicians include: (clockwise starting top left) Tyler Michael James, cello; Thomas Lee Cooper, violin; and Aljoša Jurinić, piano.

Passion and lyricism unfold in Brahms’ glowing sextet and Saint-Saëns’ radiant quartet
Red Door Chamber Music welcomes the Garrison Quartet for an evening devoted to the rich textures and lyrical warmth of the Romantic era. Brahms’ Sextet No. 2 in G Major, Op. 36 shimmers with expressive beauty, weaving together six instrumental voices in music that is both intimate and expansive. In contrast, Saint-Saëns’ Piano Quartet in B-flat Major, Op. 41 sparkles with elegance and vitality, balancing clarity of form with radiant color. Together, these two works capture the enduring spirit of Romantic chamber music—full of passion, lyricism, and unforgettable resonance.
Musicians include: Craig W. Comb, piano; Tyler Michael James, cello and TBA
