The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center: Sacred and Profane Tickets

Chamber music comes with a seemingly endless range of emotion from understated and charming to complex and spellbinding.

Notable works by trailblazers Debussy and Ravel follow an elegant duo by the founder of the Baroque French violin school, Jean-Marie Leclair, and Olivier Messiaen’s The Blackbird, an extravagant example of the composer’s fascination with bird calls.

• Jean-Marie Leclair - Sonata in E minor for Two Violins, Op. 3, No. 5 (1730) • Olivier Messiaen - Le Merle noir (The Blackbird) for Flute and Piano (1951) • Claude Debussy - Danse sacrée et Danse profane for Harp, Two Violins, Viola, Cello, and Bass (1904) • Marcel Tournier - Suite for Flute, Violin, Viola, Cello, and Harp, Op. 34 (1928) • Maurice Ravel - Sonatine for Flute, Cello, and Harp (arr. Carlos Salzedo) (1903–05) • Maurice Ravel - Trio in A minor for Piano, Violin, and Cello (1914)
