Midsummer Night Magic - The Lee Trio

Best Contemporary Classical Composition - Fern Flowers, Uljas Pulkkis
Best Contemporary Classical Composition - Five Trios, Edmund Finnis
Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble Performance - Midsummer Night Magic, The Lee Trio


This is the fourth album released by Chelsea Music Festival Records. “Midsummer Night Magic brings us joy & solace through the stories it tells. Uljas Pulkkis paints pictures of Finnish Midsummer childhood legends. Edmund Finnis’s timeless landscape invites us to listen deeply. And our love for Robert Schumann’s music lays a foundation for how we tell our own stories as musicians, mothers, and human beings—with vulnerability, empathy and swelling hope. We are so glad to share these stories with you.” —The Lee Trio

ABOUT CHELSEA MUSIC FESTIVAL

Chelsea Music Festival celebrates great music by convening world-leading musicians & artists in the performing, culinary, and visual arts for an international audience. The Festival invites artists, composers, and performers to collaborate in pursuit of new perspectives in artistic expression. Inspired by its Chelsea roots, the Festival reflects the creativity of one of New York City's most dynamic neighborhoods. Programs span musical genres ranging from classical to contemporary to jazz with a special emphasis on Festival commissions by composers whose works are not in the traditional western canon. In addition, the Festival hosts an online library of recordings so music enthusiasts, artists, and students alike can explore unique interpretations of classical, jazz, and contemporary works via high-quality videos of world-class performances.



Since 2010, the Festival has established itself as a critically-acclaimed, accessible and interactive gateway to chamber music in non-traditional concert spaces such as art galleries, public squares, schools, and churches. Programming includes concerts, lectures, exhibitions, family events, and free outreach performances. In 2020, the Festival inaugurated its Online Encores and Online Originals YouTube series; Online Encores presents highlights from Festival archives while Online Originals presents new performances and recordings. We are proud to give emerging voices, particularly those of women and people of color, a stage and are working to build an audience and intimate community to support a new generation of musicians, composers, and artists.



The Chelsea Music Festival Artistic Directors are Melinda Lee Masur and Ken-David Masur.
