Music in Context Salon Series

Sundays at 4 p.m.

"The intimacy of these salons makes them worth returning to again and again. Sitting six feet from Bettina Mussumelli’s powerful violin performance is always an experience unto itself." ~ Cy Ashley Webb, Stark Insider

Please join us in the intimacy and comfort of a beautiful historic Palo Alto living room. These concerts eliminate the boundaries between the artists and audience and invite interactive discussion, the sharing of ideas, concepts and impressions about the music performed and each is followed by a champagne reception.

Seating is limited for this exclusive opportunity. Tickets are only available by advance purchase.

Salon 3

Sunday, March 4, 2012
"Death and the Maiden"

This quartet was first played in 1826 in a private home, and was not published until 1831, three years after Schubert's death. Passed over in his lifetime, the quartet has become a staple of the quartet repertoire.
