Description
Moeser Auditorium | General Admission
Join us for the second part of a weekend-long celebration honoring the intertwined 20-year anniversaries of Brooklyn Rider and Carolina Performing Arts!
Juxtaposing beloved and familiar works with the new and unknown, Brooklyn Rider explores a boundless sandbox of musical creativity, dialogue, and play; the medium of the string quartet itself! Beginning with one of the prototypical jewels of the classical era, Haydn’s String Quartet in C Major is chock-full of pioneering inventiveness and radiates with an enduring love for the genre. The program segues from the veritable father of the string quartet to a highly anticipated new chapter of the Brooklyn Rider Almanac featuring new commissions by four formidable composers, including Clarice Assad and Tyshawn Sorey. Post-intermission, Sofia Gubaidulina paints an otherworldly sound gate to the baroque with Reflections on the Theme B-A-C-H, concluding the concert with Robert Schumann’s String Quartet in A minor. Utterly individual in its conception, this masterful work came forth after a period studying the counterpoint of perhaps the greatest musical inventor of them all, Johann Sebastian Bach.
Total runtime (including intermission): 2 hours
Intermission length: 15 minutes
