Remaining series performances are three appearances of the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra with special guests Anoushka Shankar, Jan. 29, $33; Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg, March 23, $29; and soprano Susan Graham on May 9, $29.
Absent from the Williams Center for five years, Chamber Music Society returns with an all-star ensemble of 12 musicians, bearing a treasure trove of some of the most cherished baroque concertos, including Vivaldi’s Concerto for Four Violins, Corelli’s “Christmas Concerto,” and J.S. Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos Nos. 4 and 5. The ensemble features frequent Williams Center guests Ida Kavafian, Carol Wincenc, Jon Gibbons, Fred Sherry, and Paul Neubauer, along with rising stars from Lincoln Center—Lily Francis, David Kim, and Priscilla Lee.

Mahlon and Grace Buck Fund, the Croasdale Fund, the Class of ’73 Fund, the Alan and Wendy Pesky Artist-in-Residence Program, the James Bradley Fund, and the Ed Brunswick Jazz Fund; and by grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation, the Dexter and Dorothy Baker Foundation, and New England Foundation for the Arts.
