This concert pays tribute to longtime friend of Bay Chamber and esteemed collaborator, violinist Geoff Nuttall who passed away on October 19 last year. Co-founder and first violinist of the St. Lawrence String Quartet, Geoff performed in our summer concert season every year for more than 25 years. He appeared both with the quartet and as a much-loved member of many different ensembles, often including his wife, renowned violinist Livia Sohn who will perform in this concert. Geoff captivated audiences across the world with his energy and love for music. We miss him dreadfully and, in this program, we pay tribute to the passion, humor, and brilliance that made him such a joy to listen to and watch.

The program for this concert features music that uses variation and transformation and includes Schubert's remarkable example of the theme and variations form, showcasing both the composer's gift for melody and his ability to create diverse musical textures and moods.

In addition to Livia, the concert also features Alexi Kenney, a violinist who is forging a truly spectacular career; multi–GRAMMY Award-winning composer and violist of the Attacca Quartet Nathan Schram, internationally acclaimed Canadian cellist Arlen Hlusko, bassist from the celebrated Toomai Quintet, Andrew Roitstein, and revered Bay Chamber regular, pianist Pedja Mužijević.
