Brentano String Quartet: with Peter Serkin, piano and Dean Elzinga, baritone
- Public Event
| Presented By: | Coleman Chamber Music Association |
"Such was their ferocity on Saturday night that the instruments almost burst into flames.... Make no mistake: the Brentanos are a magnificent string quartet.... This was wonderful, selfless music making." (The Times of London)
Named for Antonie Brentano, whom many scholars consider to be Beethoven's "Immortal Beloved," the Quartet began in 1992 and within a few years won the Naumberg Chamber Music Award and the inaugural Clevelend Quartet Award. The artists maintain a strong interest in commissioning new music, the latest of which is Charles Wuorinen's second piano quintet. Celebrated pianist Peter Serkin joins the Quartet to bring this new composition to audiences across America.
Please Note: Baritone Dean Elzinga is replacing Richard Lalli, who was originally scheduled to perform with the Brentanto Quartet. Mr. Lalli is recovering from an illness.
The program for this concert will include:
| Haydn | Quartet in D minor, Op. 76, No. 2 "Quinten" |
| Wuorinen | Piano Quintet No. 2 |
| Schoenberg | Ode to Napoleon for quartet, piano, and baritone |
