The New Haven Lawn Club Preservation Trust presents Kallos Chamber Music Series | The Place We Begin | Concert #1

The season opens with a simple yet enduring question: What shapes who we become? From the playful vitality of Tessa Lark’s Jig and Pop and the intimate reflections of Seth Grosshandler to the poetic world of Schumann and the expansive lyricism of Dvořák, these works illuminate the traditions, memories, and experiences that continue to shape us throughout our lives.

Brought to life by a remarkable ensemble of some of today’s most celebrated musicians, the program offers a vibrant exploration of heritage, identity, and shared memory. ​
