Goethe once said that a string quartet is like “a conversation between FOUR RATIONAL PEOPLE,” and for the members of the Emerson String Quartet, that conversation is coming to a bittersweet ending as they embark on their final season of a fifty-year history that includes 9 GRAMMY Awards and thousands of concerts. Interweaving vivid memories of the Emerson Quartet’s past with delicate observations of life on the road in the weeks and days before disbanding, FOUR RATIONAL PEOPLE explores the group’s difficult decision to walk away from the things that they cherish most in life: the music they play and the friends they hold dear. At once a frank examination of the tyranny of aging and a cri de cœur to pass the torch to a new generation of artists, FOUR RATIONAL PEOPLE culminates with one final Emerson Quartet performance for the ages, leaving all to ponder what happens to us after the final curtain.

MERRY MOZART featuring Mina Gajić and Nurit Pacht with COmpass REsonance
Mozart captured the exuberance and joy of life better than any other orchestral composer, weaving layers of delight into his music—like an exquisite musical confection celebrating life’s wonder, splendor, laughter, and pure happiness. This captivating program invites you to immerse yourself in the sheer beauty and playful spirit of Mozart’s works, designed to uplift and charm the soul.
Balkan pianist Mina Gajić brings her distinctive artistry to Mozart’s deeply heartfelt Piano Concerto No. 11 (K. 413), collaborating with the acclaimed COmpass REsonance (CORE) and esteemed guest violinist and leader, Nurit Pacht. This sparkling, virtuosic, and delightfully engaging program highlights beloved Mozart compositions cherished by string musicians, including two renowned Divertimentos that embody the elegance and clarity of the Classical Style. Under Nurit’s expert guidance, known for her dynamic performances and nuanced understanding of 18th-century music, CORE’s virtuoso string orchestra skillfully brings Mozart’s sublime harmonic beauty vividly to life. Mina’s extensive expertise with the harpsichord and historical pianos ensures her interpretations brim with agile precision and playful exuberance.
Adding festive joy to the occasion, and perfectly timed just days before Christmas, CORE will premiere newly commissioned arrangements of beloved holiday carols, reimagined with a delightful Mozartian twist.

Mina Gajić plays with “tremendous insight…remarkable sensitivity and thoroughness…” -StringThings
“Immediately apparent is the duo’s uncanny unity of phrasing. In each gesture — whether long sequences of harmony, punchy statements, delicate lifts, or phrases that come to a halt at the edge of an emotional cliff – Carrettín and Gajić share the same sense of propulsion, giving their playing a lean power and an extra glimmer of energy…daring virtuosity, tossed off with glee.” -Early Music America
“Pacht’s sultry, bittersweet playing of the blues movement confirmed that hers is a special artistry.” -London Times
“Nurit Pacht’s sound is as assertive as her temperament is charismatic. She grabs the music with an extraordinary intensity which gives each note its proper expressive weight.” -Le Temps (Switzerland)

A gripping documentary set during the early days of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, when Kharkiv’s beloved Feldman Ecopark Zoo found itself caught in the crossfire between advancing Russian forces and Ukrainian defenders. Home to over 5,000 animals, the approaching front line left the zoo’s creatures trapped in their cages with little food and water, facing starvation and increasing danger as the Russian army approached. The zoo’s founder, Oleksandr Feldman, posted a desperate plea to social media asking for help. Miraculously, the post went viral, and zoos from across Ukraine and all of Europe volunteered to house the remaining animals. Encouraged by the response, the zoo staff and these volunteers resolved to do the impossible – they would sneak back into Feldman Ecopark and evacuate thousands of animals, including many dangerous predators, and bring them to safety. In doing so, they put themselves in incredible danger, risking their lives to save innocent animals. (Joshua Zeman, 2024, UK, 1:43, NR)

Maria is having one of the worst days of her life. Her parents died. Her dog, too. She was fired from her job. She was beaten by thugs in the street. But all of her troubles melt away when she locks eyes with Tom in the midst of his suicide attempt. Soon, the gobsmacked young lovers are hand-in-hand, bounding across sun-dappled meadows and expressing their undying love through song. Their courtship is cut short when a spree killer with a chainsaw and his own musical backstory takes Maria captive to feed his grotesque family of cannibals, consisting of his overbearing mother, artistically inclined little brother, and incestuous cousins Pepe and Kevin. Vowing to come to his lady’s rescue, Tom teams up with Jaan, a goodhearted, goofy passerby with nothing but time on his hands and a song in his heart. The two head deep into the woods, embarking on a madcap quest full of blood, guts, and toe-tapping show tunes. Along the way, they’ll encounter some trigger-happy, pastry-loving cops, a helpful little hedgehog, a shitload of exploding cars, and a cult that worships a talking fridge full of nauseating contents. Nearly 10 years in the making, this bastard child of Stephen Sondheim and Lloyd Kaufman is an utterly indescribable Estonian odyssey. (Sander Maran, 2024, Estonia, 1:57, NR)

Librarians emerge as first responders in the fight for democracy and our First Amendment Rights. As they well know, controlling the flow of ideas means control over communities.
In Texas, the Krause List targets 850 books focused on race and LGBTQIA+ stories – triggering sweeping book bans across the U.S. at an unprecedented rate. As tensions escalate, librarians connect the dots from heated school and library board meetings nationwide to lay bare the underpinnings of a large-scale coordinated extremist movement fueling the censorship efforts.
Despite facing harassment, threats, and laws aimed at criminalizing their work – the librarians’ rallying cry for freedom to read is a chilling cautionary tale. (Kim A. Snyder, 2025, USA, 1:32, NR)
