HOMMAGE

The second waypoint in AWE Chicago 2025’s journey is at the intimate Guarneri Hall—described as a “classical music speakeasy” and “one of Chicago’s best-kept secrets,” hidden within an unassuming office building.

Paired with New Zealand wines from Chasing Harvest—a Central Otago winery founded by two Chicagoans—this program showcases two masterpieces for violin, horn, and piano: György Ligeti’s 20th-century hommage to Johannes Brahms’ 19th-century trio, and Mata-Au, a string trio by New Zealand composer Salina Fisher, inspired by the breathtaking landscapes of the Queenstown Lakes.
