2026 Wunsa Chamber Music: "Cracks and Breath—Shostakovich & Brahms Piano Trios"

This concert, presented by the Wan Sha Chamber Ensemble, features the classic piano trios of Shostakovich and Brahms. The trio, comprising pianist Kuan-Wei Chen, violinist Hsuan-Hao Hsu, and cellist Pin-Chun Chen, will masterfully interpret the tense, wartime chill of Shostakovich's work alongside the warm vitality of Brahms's composition. It is a profound chamber music experience that reveals the composers' inner worlds through the dialogue between melodic fissures and breaths.
