Jeremy Denk and Friends

Mozart was a virtuoso pianist and a superb violinist. The best of both worlds will be served in a three-act feast that highlights the composer’s inventive sonatas for violin and piano, as well as some additional treats selected by pianist Jeremy Denk and friends. Each act will feature a virtuoso violinist and Denk in performances of Mozart's sonatas and eclectic interludes by composers spanning Handel to John Adams. Spend a leisurely Sunday afternoon with brilliant performers and intoxicating music.

Hagen Quartet

Great string quartets engage in many different ways, from the brief, tightly connected motifs of Webern, to the epic scale of Beethoven, to the lyrical expressiveness of Schubert. There's a melancholy mood throughout much of Schubert's quartet—a work that features the famous songlike second movement. Beethoven’s quartet is a stupendous display of craftsmanship, with each of the work’s seven sections flowing one to the other without pause. The epic journey leads the listener to new tonalities, fugal writing to rival Bach’s, and Beethoven’s quintessential shifts from fury, to tenderness, to jollity.
