On June 3, Brook Speltz joins an exceptional ensemble at the North Shore Chamber Music Festival in Northbrook, Illinois for "Wunderkind" — a program celebrating music composed by extraordinary young talents.
The evening opens with Mendelssohn's Piano Trio in C minor, written when he was a teenager, before moving to Korngold's astonishing String Sextet Op. 10 — composed at just 19 years old — with Brook alongside violinists Joshua Brown and Adam Barnett-Hart, violists Masumi Rostad and Pierre Lapointe, and cellist Mark Kosower.
The program closes with Mendelssohn's rarely heard Concerto for Piano and Violin with Strings, performed by Janice Carissa and Vadim Gluzman.
The North Shore Chamber Music Festival also features the Escher String Quartet on June 5 (American Quartet) and June 6 (Grand Finale: Tchaikovsky in America). Tickets at nscmf.org.
