An hour before the concert, we invite you to meet with “First Sounds” musicians Sarah Noifeld, Rebecca Foon, and Richard Reed Perry to discuss the principles of ensemble playing, the precision of the first notes, each musician’s brilliant individual career, and their musical friendship, which has lasted for more than a quarter-century. Jānis Šipkēvics, also known as Shipsea, who shares a long-standing creative friendship with Sarah Noifeld, will also participate in the conversation.
