Host

Groupmuse Night Out ticket buyers are directed to pick up their tickets at Will Call. Seating will be assigned.

Take a musical journey from playful unpredictability to breathtaking romantic intensity with REFLECT, featuring acclaimed violinist Benjamin Beilman and the New Century Chamber Orchestra. Praised for his extraordinary technical command and expressive depth, Beilman leads the ensemble through a program that explores the many shades of human emotion—from tenderness and vulnerability to passion and exuberance.

The evening opens with Olli Mustonen’s playful, energetic Nonet No. 2, followed by the intimate beauty of Eugène Ysaÿe’s Rêve d’enfant and the lyrical sweep of Jean Sibelius’s Suite for Violin and String Orchestra. The program culminates in Arnold Schoenberg’s Verklärte Nacht, a richly atmospheric masterpiece that unfolds like a musical drama, moving through darkness and doubt toward transformation and peace. It's an evocative program brought to life by an exceptional ensemble, with Beilman at the helm.

Join us Thursday, December 10 at 7:30 p.m. at First Church UCC in Berkeley for an evening of music that invites you to pause, listen, and reflect. Through Groupmuse Nights Out, enjoy this concert at a special discounted price! 🎻
