Season 6 of the BONFIRE CHAMBER MUSIC FESTIVAL opens with cellist Magdalena Sas and pianist Mary Ellen Haupert in a program of works by magnificent lesser-known women composers -
​19th-century composer/suffragette Ethel Smyth and contemporary Indian Classical composer Reena Esmail. Smyth and Esmail's works pair nicely with Debussy's famous cello sonata.

Concert 2 features baritone James Wilson and pianist Mary Ellen Haupert performing selections from Schubert's Die schöne Müllerin, D.795. The second half is a collaboration with Ray Shows and Nancy Oliveros (Artaria String Quartet), Pedro Oviedo and Magdalena Sas (Third Coast Chamber Collective), and BCMF director Mary Ellen Haupert in a performance of Dvořák's
Piano Quintet No. 2 in A Major, Op. 81.
