About the program:

The exuberant charm of Mozart’s Piano Quartet No. 2 in E-flat Major captures the youthful vibrancy and elegance of its composer despite the skepticism he faced from the commissioner of the work. Delight in the intimate textures of Max Bruch’s evocative pieces for clarinet, viola, and piano, which blend lyrical melodies with sophisticated harmonies. Experience the cross-cultural richness of Reena Esmail’s Saans (Breath), a piano trio that utilizes Indian classical forms. Revel in the grandeur of Beethoven’s Piano Quartet No. 3 in C Major, showcasing the dynamic and transformative power of one of music’s greatest innovators. The evening culminates with Ernő Dohnányi’s Piano Sextet, a lush and intricate composition that exemplifies the Romantic era’s rich harmonic language combined with edgy wit and humor.
