“Eric Jacobsen & Friends is becoming an annual tradition of Music at Dumbarton Oaks, featuring some of the great chamber musicians and soloists of our time as well as bringing new faces and fresh programming each season to the Music Room. This year, conductor and cellist Eric Jacobsen’s friends are the incredible pianist Orli Shaham and virtuoso violinist Grace Park. At the top of the program are works by Schubert, Chopin, Kreisler, and Messiaen, which were performed at the Potsdam Conference during the summer of 1945. It has been said that music was possibly the only thing that the three contentious world leaders—Truman, Churchill, and Stalin—could agree upon during that unsettling time (more about that at the concert). To close the evening, Park, Shaham, and Jacobsen play Beethoven’s monumental Archduke Trio.”
