The Arazzo Music Festival is thrilled to announce a new community partnership with the historic Union Baptist Church in Mystic, CT. This performance marks the first collaboration between our organizations, bringing a world-class chamber music experience to one of the region’s most beautiful and resonant landmarks.

"Love, Fire, and Fantasy" explores the depth of human emotion through a journey of dramatic contrasts. The evening begins with the iconic melodies of Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet Suite for viola and piano, capturing the longing and theatricality of Shakespeare’s tragedy. The energy then ignites with Jonathan Dove’s Piano Quintet, a contemporary masterpiece known for its propulsive, "fiery" rhythms and shimmering, glass-like textures.

The concert reaches its peak with Robert Schumann’s Piano Quintet in E-flat Major, Op. 44. As the work that pioneered the piano quintet as we know it today, it remains a pillar of the repertoire—balancing heroic grandeur with the intimate, soulful lyricism characteristic of the Romantic era. Join us for this inaugural event as we celebrate the power of music and the beginning of a vibrant new partnership in the heart of Mystic.

We are so grateful to partner with Union Baptist Church to present this concert!
