Wolf Trap Foundation for the Performing Arts announced the 2024-2025 season for its Chamber Music at The Barns series on Thursday. A slate of exciting programming comes with the sad news that this coming year will be the last for artistic advisor Wu Han, who has led the series since the 2018-2019 season.

“It has been an honor to curate Chamber Music at The Barns, and I am very proud of the vibrant community of chamber music enthusiasts we’ve created,” Wu Han said of her tenure. “Wolf Trap has been a wonderful part of my artistic life that I will cherish forever.” During her time as artistic advisor, according to the announcement, audiences for chamber music performances have grown significantly at Wolf Trap, with an 81% increase in attendance.

The centerpiece of next season will be a recital by violinist Julia Fischer and pianist Jan Lisiecki, playing violin sonatas by Mozart, Beethoven, and Schumann (March 26). Other highlights include a piano duet evening with Alessio Bax and Lucille Chung (March 2), a concert by countertenor John Holiday (January 19), and the Barns at Wolf Trap debut of the Viano Quartet (October 27).

Wu Han herself will anchor two of the four programs presented by artists from Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center: a concert of piano trios with cellist David Finkel and violinist Arnaud Sussmann (February 16) and a performance of Schubert’s “Trout” Quintet along with other music for strings (March 16).

Tickets go on sale to the public August 16. wolftrap.org
