In their second season as an as-yet-unnamed partnership, the well-known soloists Stella Chen, violin; Matthew Lipman, viola; and Brannon Cho, cello will make mark an intriguing Boston debut recital at Jordan Hall Saturday night for the Foundation for Chinese Performing Arts with Leo Weiner’s String Trio in G minor, Op. 6, Emmy Frensel Wegener’s Suite for Violin, Viola, and Cello; Gideon Klein’s String Trio, and Mozart’s Divertimento in E-flat Major, K. 563.

Ernst von Dohnányi, 2022
[…] friends with the famous violinist Joseph Joachim, 46 years his elder; Joachim invited Dohnányi to Berlin, to teach at the Hochschule für Musik. In 1915 Dohnányi returned to Budapest where he embarked on a very ambitious program of reshaping the musical life of Hungary, first as the Director of the Budapest Academy, and then in the position of Music Director of the Budapest Philharmonic Orchestra.

In 1934 Dohnányi was again appointed Director of the Academy of Music while keeping his position at the Philharmonic Orchestra. These were difficult times in Hungary, which was ruled by Miklós […]
