ST. PETERSBURG — The Palladium Chamber Series will continue its 2025–26 season with “Varied Soundscapes,” an intimate evening of chamber music featuring internationally acclaimed guest artists Stefan Jackiw (violin) and Yoonah Kim (clarinet) performing alongside Palladium Chamber Players Edward Arron (cello) and Jeewon Park (piano).

The concert will be presented on Wednesday, March 25, 7:30 p.m., at the Palladium at St. Petersburg College, 253 Fifth Ave. N., St. Petersburg. Tickets start at $15. Visit mypalladium.org.

“Varied Soundscapes” will offer audiences something rarely seen on a chamber stage: two married musical partnerships performing together, bringing both artistic chemistry and personal connection to the program. Joining Jackiw and Kim are Arron and Park, themselves a married duo whose musical partnership has long been a cornerstone of the Palladium Chamber Series. Together, the four musicians create a program built on dialogue, interplay, and musical chemistry — the very qualities that make chamber music such an intimate and expressive art form.

The program highlights music written for winds and strings, exploring the color and interplay of chamber music in works by Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Stravinsky, and Rabl. Jackiw and Kim — both highly regarded soloists who perform regularly on major stages across North America and abroad — travel from New York to join the Palladium for this special collaboration.

Tampa Bay audiences may remember Jackiw’s appearance last season performing the Korngold Violin Concerto with The Florida Orchestra. This concert offers a rare opportunity to hear the acclaimed violinist in a far more intimate chamber setting.

One highlight of the evening is a unique arrangement created by Kim during the COVID-19 lockdown. When concert schedules suddenly disappeared and musicians found themselves isolated, Kim began adapting works for clarinet and violin so the couple could continue making music together in their New York apartment.

For this performance, Kim’s arrangement reimagines the Rondeau from Mozart’s Duo in G Major, K.423, originally written for violin and viola. Replacing the viola with clarinet required careful rethinking of harmony and range.

“All of our concerts were canceled, and like so many musicians, we suddenly found ourselves isolated,’’ Kim said. “We were stuck in our apartments and unable to make music with others. So, I began arranging duets for clarinet and violin so we could play together in our living room.’’

Transforming the work for clarinet required careful musical choices. Because the viola can play multiple notes simultaneously while the clarinet produces only single tones, Kim selected which notes of Mozart’s harmonies would preserve the music’s character while reshaping it for the clarinet’s range and voice. The result preserves Mozart’s elegant musical conversation while adding a fresh warmth and lyricism through the clarinet’s sound.

Presented in the intimate acoustic of the Palladium’s Hough Concert Hall, “Varied Soundscapes” continues the venue’s celebrated Chamber Series, which brings internationally acclaimed artists to downtown St. Petersburg for intimate performances that highlight both virtuosity and the collaborative spirit of chamber music.

Founded by The Florida Orchestra’s Concertmaster Jeffrey Multer and Palladium Executive Director Paul Wilborn, the Palladium Chamber Series has been bringing world-class chamber music to downtown St. Pete since 2013. Each season showcases dynamic interpretations of the great classical repertoire by a distinguished group of guest artists and core musicians.
