If your soul could use a cathartic chakric cleanse, do not miss this hair-raising, spine-tingling, psyche-throttling musical rollercoaster. Dmitri Shostakovich’s Piano Trio  No. 2 and String Quartet No. 8 are his best-known and most electrifyingly recognizable chamber works. More than many of his other works, they grab you by the spiritual jugular and don’t let go. (And that’s saying a lot; IYKYK.) 

Camilla Tassi’s immersive, imaginative lighting projections up the emotional ante on this gripping music.

Complimentary wine and hors-d’oeuvre reception with the artists to follow.

More info on our venues and parking here. Should you wish to enjoy the many offerings at the Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens before Salastina's performance in Rothenberg Hall, purchase an admission ticket or reserve your timed entry here.
