Opening Night: Latticework

Begin the 2025 Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival with a concert that brings our theme, Blueprints in Sound, to life. This program explores how composers use structure—like a blueprint—to shape musical ideas. From the world premiere of Sean Shepherd’s Latticework and Britten’s reflections on transformation to Haydn’s classical elegance and Beethoven’s bold reimagining, each piece shows a different take on how form and creativity interact.
