Enjoy a celebration of seasonality in a newly restored, intimate setting: the Loft at Four Winds Farm. Artistic Director Dawn Wohn is the featured soloist for the evening in a program of classic that will delight listeners with evocations of Venice and Buenos Aires.

This unique program will feature Edward Klorman in conversation with performers to present an in-depth exploration of these beloved pieces for solo cello. Celebrated author and musicologist Dr. Klorman has recently joined the faculty of UW-Madison, coinciding with the release of his new title, Bach: The Cello Suites from Cambridge University Press.

Cellist Matthew Zalkind will perform selections from the suites. Additional guest performers to be announced.

New Wisconsin residents Eunice Kim and Jinwoo Lee will appear for their first ever duo performance in the state! Jinwoo Lee is the newly appointed concertmaster of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra. Eunice Kim is a highly sought-after collaborative pianist, celebrated for her profound artistry and passion for chamber music.

Arco e Tasto’s appearance is generously sponsored by the Fitchburg Chamber Visitor + Business Bureau.

The duo of cellist Eugene Friesen and pianist Henrique Eisenmann brings the concept of chamber music into the world of jazz and world music. Friesen, a 4-time Grammy Award winner, is known for expanding the role of the cello into jazz and world music styles, while Brazilian-born Henrique Eisenmann is both a classical virtuoso and a stunning jazz improvisational artist. In this program of originals and Brazilian bossa nova, West-African grooves, and innovative arrangements of well known songs, Friesen and Eisenmann redefine their instruments as they liberate the classical genre.

“Temple of Time” invites listeners on a transcendent musical journey that spans centuries and cultures. The program begins with time-honored works from Japan and Europe, then moves through a diverse landscape of compositions shaped by the meeting of East and West. Along the way, the music draws inspiration from Asian philosophies, architecture, and literature—revealing how cultural exchange has shaped artistic expression across time.
