CSO Chamber Music at the University of Chicago April 11, 2027

Musicians from the renowned Chicago Symphony Orchestra explore musical satire and parody. Milhaud’s La Cheminée du roi René, an amusing collection of musical miniatures, opens the program. Poulenc’s Sextet for Piano and Winds—a lighthearted piece whose second movement caricatures Mozart’s slow movements—is paired with Mozart’s Quintet for Piano and Winds.

Join us for a pre-concert lecture (2:00 PM) with Assistant Professor Paula Harper and post-concert discussion with the artists moderated by Professor Harper.

Supported by the Office of the Provost and Mary Lou Gorno.
