Music in NYC: Schubert Quintet at Aspect Chamber Concert
The ASPECT Chamber Music Series opens its 2019-2020 season of classical music performances and illustrated talks with Schubert Quintet on Wednesday, October 23, 2019 at 7:30 pm at the Italian Academy of Columbia University.
The concert features the Formosa Quartet and cellist Peter Wiley in Schubert’s String Quintet
Composed in the last year of composer’s short life, Schubert’s String Quintet is recognized as one of the finest compositions in the composer oeuvre. By adding a second cello to the string quartet, Schubert was able to exploit dark and mellow sounds. The result is surely the most poignant of all his chamber works – one in which light and shade, drama and serenity are presented in constant alternation.
Composer, writer, and producer Misha Donat presents an illustrated talk about the music composed by Schubert in his last year. The concert features the Formosa Quartet and cellist Peter Wiley.
Schubert Quintet performance on Wednesday, October 23, 2019 at 7.30 pm opens the 2019-2020 Aspect Chamber Music Series season of enlightening concerts and talks.
