Noe Music opens its season with a dynamic program featuring the brilliant Elizabeth Joy Roe at the helm of our magnificent Steinway Model D. She brings electrifying clarity to Samuel Carl Adams’s Piano Etudes (Bay Area premiere), a set of bold, inventive works that push the piano’s expressive range. Roe then joins Noe Music co-Artistic Director Meena Bhasin for Brahms’s F minor sonata for viola and piano—a deeply romantic, richly textured work that showcases the powerful intimacy of these instruments in the hands of longtime friends. A thrilling start to the season you won’t want to miss.
