"Czech Please"

Through our performance and study of works by two Czech composers, Antonin Dvorak and Erwin Schulhoff, we'll take a trip through 30 years of Czech musical history. Dvorak's "American" quartet was written in 1893 while the composer was on an extended stay in the U.S. Erwin Schulhoff was a trailblazing composer in 1920's Europe whose life was cut short in Auschwitz. World history shaped their lives, their music and their response to their native land.

"Mozart, Haydn and the 1780s"

If Haydn created the conversational style of composition, Mozart greatly expanded its vocabulary. We'll explore and compare works that the two great composers wrote during that incredible decade. Did they inspire and influence each other? How?

Salon 3

Sunday, March 4, 2012 at 4 p.m.
"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.
