chamber trio founded in 2025 by pianist/organist Dr. Peiyao Yu, soprano Dr. Zhengyingue “Elaine” Huang, and violinist/violist Dr. Xiaohui Yan, is dedicated to championing underrepresented composers, with the ultimate goal of a future where no composer need be labeled “underrepresented” at all. After a 2025 season spotlighting female living composers, 2026 turns its focus to Black and Chinese voices. For this year’s New York City tour, the trio is joined by guest violinist/violist Xenia Deviatkina-Loh. Looking ahead, Almost Quintet is pursuing nonprofit status, embracing a flexible roster of collaborators, never exceeding four, united by versatility and a shared commitment to amplifying underrepresented composers and musicians.

As there is no universal human experience, so too the lives of women reflect infinite combinations of social, cultural, political, racial, economic, and environmental circumstance. Some pieces in this program highlighted the struggle of being a woman in a world still largely governed by patriarchy. Others inspires us to envision women as individuals unencumbered by this constraint. Still others dared us to see the world, the planet itself, or a higher power, as a feminine being: an essential force with which we can commune, in a reality free of hierarchy and oppression. These pieces ask questions and claim space: “What happens when a woman takes power?” demands Alexandra Olsavsky’s driving anthem. “Where was I the day I finally found my place?” echoes Sarah Kirkland Snider in a haunting setting of a Nathaniel Bellows poem. Celebrated NYC composer Stefania de Kenessey sets challenging lyrics by Annie Finch, in a world premiere: “He who hides a woman’s spirit/ loses his own birth within it,” calls one verse. Hear these works along with pieces by Joan Szymko, Zanaida Robles, Libby Larsen, Chen Yi, Katerina Gimon, Eva Ugalde, and others. Audiences are welcome to a reception following the concert.

Internationally renowned as a lutenist, song writer and art expert he joined the dots between politics, poetry and art at one of the most culturally ambitious courts of the seventeenth century. His songs were collected and published for decades after his heyday. But as Lanier and his fellow court musicians experienced tumultuous times, their music reflects both the languid serenity of a Golden Age and sorrow at its destruction.

The requiem, in oratorio form, was performed alongside an installation of 14 panels, replacing the traditional stations of the cross with commemorative art pieces honoring the lives of trans artists (both past and present). This concert was both in-person and also live-streamed.
