Rennolds Chamber Concerts 2012-13

This season’s Mary Anne Rennolds Chamber Concerts at Virginia Commonwealth University conclude on May 5 with one of the last performances by the Emerson String Quartet with its charter cellist, David Finckel. Next season’s Rennolds series opens with Finckel returning in a trio with his wife, pianist Wu Han, and his by-then former Emerson colleague, violinist Philip Setzer.

Their Sept. 15 program of piano trios by Haydn, Schubert and Mendelssohn opens a 2012-13 season that also will feature performances by violinist Jennifer Koh and pianist Shai Wosner on Oct. 13; the Brentano String Quartet with composer Bruce Adolphe on Nov. 17; the vocal quartet New York Polyphony on Feb. 23; pianist Jeremy Denk on March 23; and the Tokyo String Quartet on May 4.

The VCU date is part of a farewell tour by the Tokyo Quartet, which is disbanding at the end of next season after performing for more than 40 years.

Ticket subscriptions for the 2012-13 Rennolds series are $135 for six concerts, $90 for three concerts, with discounts for seniors and for VCU faculty and staff. Single tickets will go on sale on July 1.
