Henri Lazarof Concert Series

Sheet music written in pen

The annual Henri Lazarof Chamber Concert, at which the Henri Lazarof International Commission Prize winner’s composition will be premiered each year, will continue the Brandeis music department’s mission of hosting professional performances that feature works by contemporary composers. In addition to the commissioned work, each concert will feature music of Henri Lazarof and other composers with the same instrumentation.

Our next Henri Lazarof Chamber Concert has been scheduled for 3 p.m. Sunday, May 4, 2025 in the Slosberg Recital Hall (Reserve tickets HERE!)

This year’s Henri Lazarof Chamber Concert will feature the world premiere of a new work for string trio by Amy Williams, winner of the 5th Annual Henri Lazarof International Commission Prize.  Her new work will be premiered along with Henri Lazarof’s Continuum for String Trio and Giacinto Scelsi’s String Trio.

This concert will be performed by guest artists Lilit Hartunian, violin, Sam Kelder, viola, and David Russell, cello.
