Midsummer MusicFest - Bell-Isserlis-Denk Trio & Friends – Concert II
The chamber music dream team of Joshua Bell, Steven Isserlis, and Jeremy Denk performs the second of two wholly different programs celebrating the radiant, poetic music of Robert Schumann.

Denk, Duval, and Isserlis open this concert with the beguiling miniatures of Schumann’s Fantasiestücke, Op. 88, before Bell joins Denk and Isserlis for the rarely performed dark jewel, the G-Minor Piano Trio. Duval and Isserlis open the second half with Schumann’s lyrical Three Romances, before the concert’s finale – the luminous E-flat Major Piano Quartet featuring Denk, Bell, Engstroem, and Isserlis. Expect sublime musicmaking from three stellar artists deeply attuned to Schumann’s sound world.

Jazz in July: Echoes of Miles - Aaron Diehl and John Patitucci
A first-ever evening of duets from two of the most renowned artists in jazz.

Bassist and composer John Patitucci’s longtime work with Chick Corea in his legendary Akoustic and Elektric Bands established him as a premier artist – in a career that has also included collaborations with jazz luminaries Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny, Michael Brecker, Joshua Redman, McCoy Tyner, and countless others. The influence of Miles, with whom Corea worked in the late 1960s and on the seminal jazz-fusion albums In a Silent Way, Bitches Brew, and more – and of Miles alum Shorter – ripples through Patitucci’s artistry. Pianist-composer Aaron Diehl is acclaimed for his “melodic precision, harmonic erudition, and elegant restraint” (The New York Times). His work with artists including Wynton Marsalis, Cécile McLorin Salvant, Tyshawn Sorey, Benny Golson, Jimmy Heath, and others has established him as one of the most distinctive and important jazz artists of his generation. Hear them together in what promises to be an unforgettable night of music.

Pamela Colloff with David Grann: Catch the Devil
The New York Times’ Pamela Colloff talks to bestselling author David Grann (Killers of the Flower Moon) about the riveting, true story of a con man who helped send another man to death row for a murder he did not commit — and her new account, Catch the Devil: A True Story of Murder, Deception, and Injustice on the Gulf Coast.

For more than three decades, Paul Skalnik roamed the Gulf Coast lying about who he was. He passed himself off as a fighter pilot, an oilman, a criminal defense attorney, an undercover agent, and a terminal cancer patient. In these guises he married nine women — some at the same time — and helped land a man on death row for murder. But who really committed the killing? Based on years of reporting and interviews with Skalnik himself, Colloff spins a dark tale — “masterful and riveting” (Rachel Aviv) — of a remorseless and brilliant liar made lethal by a system more concerned with winning convictions than finding the truth.

Hear Colloff and Grann, two masters of true crime, as they discuss a story of deception that goes far beyond the lies of one man — a timely conversation illuminating how a culture of deception has exploited, corrupted, and undermined the American criminal justice system.
