The Bechtler Ensemble is joined by special guest violinst Rosemary Furniss for the Bechtler's Music and Museum presentation of Back to Brahms February 25 and 27 in the museum's fourth-floor gallery.

Furniss is one of the most respected violinists of her generation and is acclaimed for her solo performances and collaborations with renowned orchestras and conductors (including her husband, newly appointed Charlotte Symphony conductor Christopher Warren-Green who also leads the London Chamber Orchestra where Furniss shares the role of Artistic Director and Concertmaster).

For this performance, Brahms's String Quartet No. 3 will be paired with the artwork of Julius Bissier. Bissier is featured in the exhibition Four Artists in Ascona: Benazzi, Bissier, Nicholson and Valenti on view now through July 5 in the museum's second-floor gallery.

A cash bar reception begins at 5 p.m. and the performance at 5:30.
