Hope and Drama
Experience Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 5 in A Major, which pays homage to both Mozart and Haydn and offers a study of Mozartian Classical elegance and nascent Beethovian Romanticism. Delight in two short pieces by French pianist and composer Cécile Chaminade, “Automne” and “Autrefois,” featuring Rising Star Albert Cano Smit, and Dvořák’s Piano Quartet No. 2 in E-flat Major, a work demonstrating the composer’s gift for lyricism, romantic sweep, and exquisite tone.
