Musical Masterworks 25th Anniversary Season continues today at 3 p.m. with a repeat of yesterday’s concert.  The versatile and talented pianist, composer, and host of NPR’s acclaimed program “From the Top,” Christopher O’Riley, along with violinist, Tessa Lark, who has delighted Masterworks audiences over the years, will be featured.  O’Riley and Lark will join Edward Arron in a diverse program spanning four centuries — from Bach to Dvorák and Ravel, to Arvo Pärt and O’Riley.

“Our special season will culminate on April 30, and May 1, with Mendelssohn’s ‘Octet for Strings,’ led by Musical Masterworks’ veteran violinist, Chee-Yun,” noted Arron.  “I feel extraordinarily privileged to be the curator of this unique concert series. As the years go by, I continue to be inspired by the beauty of the Congregational Church, the art of chamber music, the artistry of my colleagues, and the warmth of our audience.”

The anniversary season will be celebrated with a free gala party after the final concert on May 1, to which all ticket buyers will be invited.
