All-Mendelssohn Program
Sunday, February 19, 3pm, NEC’s Jordan Hall

Philip Setzer and David Finckel have been colleagues in the Emerson String Quartet for more than three decades. Wu Han and Finckel are the powerhouse married couple who head the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and Music@Menlo, as well as their recording label, ArtistLed. The happy configuration of David Finckel, Wu Han and Philip Setzer on the same stage—these leading lights of the chamber music world—makes for authoritative performances that are lyrical, virtuosic and unforgettable.

"Pianist Wu Han, violinist Philip Setzer and cellist David Finckel gave their sold-out audience an exuberant, eddying account of the B-flat, then turned the screws tighter for the E-flat, grabbing listeners, as it were, by the throats.”
—San Jose Mercury News
