The Clear Lake Chamber Music Festival warmly invites music lovers to an enchanting evening of classical brilliance, featuring pianist Daniel Tselyakov, joined by guest artists Ariel Carrabré (cello) and Alexander Tselyakov (piano).

The program opens with Johannes Brahms’s Cello Sonata No. 1 in E minor, Op. 38, a lyrical masterpiece and cornerstone of the cello repertoire. It continues with Maurice Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloé—a rarely performed solo piano tour de force that evokes shimmering orchestral colours from the piano alone. The concert culminates with an electrifying piano duo by Daniel and Alexander Tselyakov, delivering a thrilling finale full of passion and virtuosity.
