Newport Classical presents Bulgarian American violinist Bella Hristova in collaboration with returning pianist, Anna Polonsky. Hristova marks her Newport debut in a varying program which includes stalwart works by Bach, a transcription of a movement from Messiaen’s Quartet for the end of time, Grieg’s thrilling second violin sonata, and folk songs from the childhood of composer Reena Esmail. Hristova has won international acclaim for her “expressive nuance and rich tone” (New York Times) and “impressive power and control” (Washington Post). She has distinguished herself on the world stage as a performing artist with a remarkably diverse repertoire and bold approach to programming.

Newport Classical’s Chamber Series takes place at Newport Classical Recital Hall in downtown Newport, known for its striking architecture and excellent acoustics. The Chamber Series reaffirms Newport Classical’s commitment to year-round classical music programming. Audiences are invited to enjoy performances by world-class classical musicians in a relaxed setting, with a complimentary glass of wine from Greenvale Vineyards and homemade treats by Newport Classical volunteers.
