Explore three centuries of chamber music in one unforgettable evening. Mozart’s remarkably inventive Duo, written as a favor to a colleague, stand as a testament to friendship as much as craft. Charles Loeffler’s hauntingly beautiful Deux Rhapsodies follows, reimagined with soprano saxophone in place of oboe, giving a velvety texture to its impressionistic shadows. This glorious opening night program culminates in a masterful piano quartet by Johannes Brahms — turbulent, tender, and utterly transcendent.
