In the Season Eighteen opener, violist Timothy Ridout, clarinetist José Franch-Ballester and pianist Gloria Chien explore lyricism and intimacy through three distinct musical voices. Horovitz’s Sonatina opens the evening with wit and charm, moving from a playful sonata movement to a lyrical song and a spirited rondo finale.
