Chamber Music Sedona will launch its 43rd concert season in November.

From the Junction Trio to violinist Benjamin Beilman and pianist Gloria Chien, to a season finale that combines music, movies and comedy, this season offers a mix of musical innovation and artistry by acclaimed musicians.

Most concerts will take place Sunday afternoons at the Sedona Performing Arts Center, 995 Upper Red Rock Loop Road. The season runs through April.

The season opens Sunday, Nov. 16 with “Violin of Legend,” performed by Beilman and Chien. Beilman will bring to life his 1740 “Ysaÿe” Guarneri del Gesù violin – one of the world’s most legendary instruments.

The season will continue in the new year with a performance by Grammy-winning ensemble Imani Winds and acclaimed pianist Michelle Cann on Jan. 11. These two forces in American classical music will perform a program of French, American and Cuban works.

In February the ensemble, Junction Trio will perform on the strength three innovative classical musicians: Stefan Jackiw (violin), Jay Campbell (cello) and Conrad Tao (piano).

The Brentano Quartet will join the Chamber Music Sedona stage in March. Consisting of violinists Mark Steinberg and Serena Canin, violist Misha Amory and cellist Nina Lee, the Brentano Quartet are longtime Artists-in-Residence at the Yale School of Music. Their recent projects include collaborations with Dawn Upshaw, major premieres, and performances at Carnegie Hall. They will perform at the Sedona Hilton, 90 Ridge Trail Drive.

The season will close in April with “An Afternoon of Music, Movies and Comedy,” a finale that blends chamber music with original film, storytelling and comedy. Cellist, filmmaker and Chamber Music Sedona Artistic Director Nicholas Canellakis and pianist-composer Michael Stephen Brown will be joined by actress Arabella Oz.
