Sextet for Strings in A Major, Op. 48 |
Quartet, Quintet, Sextet… Delightfully diverse, this program is a perfect vehicle for the Virtuosi’s captivating and versatile music-making. Opening with the flavor of a Schubertiade, the Five German Dances retain a joyful simplicity. From one of the most important living American composers, John Harbison’s Piano Quintet delves into a vast, yet subtle range of emotions. Dvorak’s Sextet for Strings fuses the folk-inspired idioms of his native Bohemia with the beauty of Viennese lyricism.
Introduce your family to Caramoor. Purchase Concert Al Fresco tickets ($9.00) and enjoy the performance from the picnic grounds.
