Describing landscapes through music is a beloved tradition in the classical canon—one that continued through the late 20th century and thrives today. The Adventurous Project brings together violinist Nick Miceli and pianist Esmond Choi to showcase how composers with a modern ear reimagine nature, space, scenery, and even isolation.

Lunch will be available at the Coriole Restaurant; booking is required. If you plan to dine, please do so at 12 or 12:30 p.m. Doors open at 2:00 p.m.
