NYSL:  Opus Nine Chamber Ensemble

The Library continues its celebration of the Steegmullers' world with an evening of European chamber music from the eras of their lives and work. Works presented will include Otto Respighi's "String Quartet in D Major," Gabriel Fauré's "Bonne Chanson," and Erik Satie's "Cabaret Songs," among others.

Opus Nine Ensemble (with Alysia Lee and Jarvis Benson, Artistic Directors) is a chamber group composed of strings, winds, piano and classical vocalists. Opus Nine is dedicated to approaching the most challenging and exciting concert repertoire with new ideas, dramatic modern contrasts, and passionate exuberance. Masterfully trained, prodigious, and ethnically diverse, all members are under the age of thirty and fresh from the top conservatories in America.

This event is generously supported by the estate of Marion O. Naumburg.
