A Musical Salon for the 21st Century

Our Salastina "home" is an opulent, joyful place of beauty, splendor, and living tradition. By day, we’re world-class performers and studio musicians who’ve played on your favorite films. By night, we’re on a mission to broaden the definition of what classical music was, is, and can be.

Sometimes, music soars. Sometimes, it aches. And sometimes, it refuses to resolve — until it finally does. This program explores the fragile, cathartic space between dissonance and harmony. From Mozart’s “Dissonance” Quartet and Janáček’s Intimate Letters to Prokofiev’s lyrical modernism, Caroline Shaw’s crystalline sound world, and Gesualdo’s haunting Renaissance chromaticism, this is music that finds beauty in unrest, and invites us to do the same.

What We Play

Classical, Contemporary, Baroque… if John Cage's infamous 4'33" counts as "Classical Music™," then what doesn't?! When it comes to programming, our guiding principle is simple: we gotta love it, and we gotta wanna share it.
