Carnegie Hall

With pairs of violins, violas, and cellos, Brahms created two of the most exquisite late-Romantic chamber works. The composer’s sextets exemplify the emotional heft, warmth, lyricism, and grand conceptual scope for which he is so beloved, while expanding the tried-and-true sonority of a string quartet into something even more splendid. Tonight, six of the world’s greatest string players join forces to perform both of these sextets together on Carnegie Hall’s grandest stage for the first time in 30 years.
