Frisson is an explosive group of rising stars who are the best and brightest of the recent graduates from such top music schools at Juilliard, Curtis and Yale. Led by Artistic Director and virtuoso oboist Thomas Gallant, the musicians were chosen through auditions in New York City and the group already has a busy tour schedule across the United States. Frisson showcases a myriad of rarely-performed masterworks and the core group of 9 musicians expands and contracts into a variety of ensembles featuring violin, viola, cello, double bass, flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, and French horn.

The group will perform Allegro from Suite for Solo Cello by Gaspar Cassado, Ravel’s Tombeau de Couperin, and additional music by Villa-Lobos, Martinu, Svante Henryson, and August Walter. The artists will give a pre-concert lecture at 3:30 PM in the Pollard Auditorium.
