Mainly Mozart Festival 2026: Poiesis Quartet
The trailblazing Poiesis Quartet brings its multifaceted artistry to a striking program of contemporary musical voices and Brahmsian drama. This fast-rising ensemble -- praised for its multifaceted artistry and recently recognized with Chamber Music America's 2026 Cleveland Quartet Award, after winning the 2025 Banff International String Quartet Competition -- brings a program of bold imagination and deeply personal expression to this Mainly Mozart appearance. In the first half, Daniel Lasaga's Circus of the Mind, Maya Irizarry Lambright's forest of taldeni, Max Lang's commonplace little perils, and Calvin Ray Shawler's Order unfold as a sequence of vivid contemporary musical "letters," each with its own atmosphere, tension, and emotional world. It is repertory that reflects the quartet's distinctive voice as creators, collaborators, and champions of new music. After intermission, Poiesis is joined by pianist Marina Radiushina, the Miami Chamber Music Society's Artistic Director and a pianist described as a "virtuoso whose playing is distinguished by rare depth of interpretation and understanding of style." Together they turn to Brahms's Piano Quintet in F minor, Op. 34, one of chamber music's most powerful masterpieces -- sweeping, turbulent, and richly lyrical. The result is an evening that moves from intimate contemporary voices to a grand, passionate statement of Romantic expression. The event takes place at Newman Recital Hall, 5513 San Amaro Drive.

Miami Pioneers - Joanne Meagher, Merrick House Stories
The Miami Pioneers and Natives of Dade are pleased to welcome Joanne Meagher with a historical presentation on the early days of the Merrick Family and their legacy Coral Gables home. Joanne will answer your burning questions about the family of George Merrick and provide examples of how they were so ahead of their time and yet had to step back in time when they moved here from Massachusetts in 1899. She will share tales of her favorite characters in the Merrick story (and they aren’t all humans) and provide fun facts about Coral Gables history to be shared around the water cooler.
