Join us for an afternoon performance of two exceptional Chamber Music masterpieces: The Double Cello Quintets of Schubert and Brahms.

An impressive ensemble, curated by Artistic Director Peter Seidenberg, will perform these pieces scored for two violins, viola, and two cellos, that provide a rich, fuller sound than traditional string quartets. The Brahms piece was recently performed in our November 2024 concert as the Piano Quintet in f minor, its more familiar scoring. But Brahms’ first version of the piece was as a double cello quintet, recently completed by Terry King. This concert will be a rare opportunity to hear the piece as Brahms first conceived it, as well as Schubert’s astounding masterpiece scored for the same group of instruments.
