Pianist Orli Shaham has been the curator, host, and pianist of Pacific Symphony’s “Cafe Ludwig” chamber music series for nearly two decades. This new album of contemporary chamber music is the product of her long relationship with the musicians of the symphony, which is based in Southern California. The program demonstrates the diversity of chamber works by leading American composers Margaret Brouwer, Jessie Montgomery, Sarah Kirkland Snider, Avner Dorman, Viet Cuong, Reena Esmail, Peter Dayton, and Ari Barack Fisher. The pieces by Dorman and Brouwer were commissioned by Pacific Symphony and are world premiere recordings. Along with Shaham, the recording features concertmaster Dennis Kim, principal bass Richard Cassarino, principal viola Meredith Crawford, principal cello Warren Hagerty, principal flute Benjamin Smolen, clarinetist Joshua Ranz, and trumpeter Tony Ellis.
