The Stoughton Chamber Music Festival presents PERSPECTIVE. Searching for the ability to better understand another’s perspective, this program centers around Thomas Adès’ extraordinary new clarinet quintet, Alchymia, pairing each movement with other short compositions that help develop context and deeper understanding of the music. This program features music for string quartet, clarinet and piano at the historic Stoughton Opera House. -Run time: ~60min, ticketed ($10/$35)
