"Chatter's first concert on March 15 featured music by composers-in-residence Akshaya Tucker and Kimberly Osberg, alongside a string quartet by Mizzy Mazzoli and Brahms' Clarinet Quintet."
"The second concert on April 5 included two pieces by Osvaldo Golijov and Richard Strauss' Four Last Songs, with Madeline Ross joining the ensemble for the performance."
"Artistic Director James Shields introduced the concerts with humor, asking for 'connoisseurs of classical music' in the audience, which elicited few responses, highlighting a casual atmosphere."
"The music performed ranged from Tucker's response to environmental issues to Brahms' passionate counterpoint, creating a contrast between the lighthearted introductions and the emotional weight of the pieces."
