Chamber Music Quad Cities' 2025-26 concert season continues with a program entitled "Between Worlds," with works by the Europeans Brahms and Fauré as well as the young American composer Carlos Simon. One of Simon's works is a solo-violin piece ("Between Worlds") that navigates the space between the Black music that he grew up with and the European concert music that he came to admire. The Brahms and Fauré pieces--a piano trio in C minor and a violin sonata in A major--are themselves separated by a wide emotional space, with the Brahms taut and tense, the Fauré warm and lyrical.
The concert will take place at the Trinity Episcopal Parish Hall in Davenport on Sunday, January 18 at 3:00 p.m.

Chamber Music Quad Cities—known familiarly as CMQC—presents classical concert music at affordable prices in comfortable settings. An outgrowth of many years of concert-giving in the Quad Cities by Davenport natives Gregory and Thomas Sauer, CMQC was founded in 1994. Together with pianist Robert Satterlee, the Sauer brothers established Chamber Music Quad Cities as a non-profit, 501(c)3 corporation in that year. Support from the community has been consistent to this day. Violinist David Bowlin assumed the artistic direction of CMQC in 2007; upon his departure in the summer of 2017, the Sauer brothers returned as Artistic Co-Directors.
