From the lyric grace and youthful vitality of Franz Schubert to the brilliance of Ludwig van Beethoven, the program highlights the expressive depth and technical brilliance that shaped the Romantic sonata tradition.</p>

<p>The refined colors of Claude Debussy and the rhythmic vitality of Maurice Ravel bring the genre into the 20th century, revealing new textures, harmonic language, and modern character—including the unmistakable pulse of Ravel’s “Blues” movement and the dazzling momentum of his Perpetuum Mobile. Together, these masterworks illuminate the richness, contrast, and enduring dialogue between two extraordinary instruments.</p>

<p>On March 12 at the Sanctuary of the Arts, the Amernet String Quartet, FIU’s Artist-in-Residence ensemble, brings the season to a close. Known for adventurous programming and refined ensemble interplay, the quartet has earned a reputation for performances marked by clarity, energy, and expressive depth—qualities that have made Amernet a cornerstone of South Florida’s chamber music scene. Critics have praised the ensemble for its “viscerally exciting” performances and “exceptional clarity and cohesion.”</p>

<p>Joining the quartet, Guy Yehuda brings an international career shaped by appearances with major orchestras and leading festivals worldwide. A top prizewinner in multiple international clarinet competitions, he has performed with the Israel Philharmonic, Chicago Civic Orchestra, Haifa Symphony Orchestra, and Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra, and has appeared as a guest clarinetist with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra. His work has taken him across Europe and the United States under the direction of renowned conductors, with festival appearances including Spoleto, Verbier, Lucerne, and the Israeli Chamber Music Festival.</p>

Featuring the iconic “Ode to Joy,” this unforgettable work comes to life through the combined forces of the FIU Symphony Orchestra, FIU Choirs, and Encantus Voices, with proceeds benefiting student scholarships at The Wertheim. </p>

<p>The performance is conducted by Javier José Mendoza, with choral forces prepared by their musical directors: Erynn Millard (FIU Concert Choir), Alicia Romero-Sardiñas (FIU University Singers), and Maibel Troia (Encantus Voices). Together, these ensembles bring extraordinary scale, clarity, and emotional depth to one of the most ambitious works in the classical repertoire.</p>

<p>Vocal soloists Laura León, soprano; Katherine Goeldner, mezzo-soprano; Carlos Silva, tenor; and Juantomás Martínez Yépez, baritone add brilliance and expressive intensity to Beethoven’s visionary score.</p>

<p>Bold, uplifting, and unforgettable, this performance of Beethoven’s Ninth is more than a concert—it’s a shared experience. Whether you’re a longtime classical music enthusiast or hearing this masterpiece for the first time, this is a night that invites you to listen, reflect, and celebrate together.</p>
