Purely Classical

This concert offers a broad perspective on the classical tradition. We begin with the iconic chamber music setup: four string players together as a string quartet. Here they will perform a quartet by Joseph Haydn — often called the father of the string quartet. The journey then moves forward to late-Romanticism with Erich Wolfgang Korngold, whose youthful Piano Trio already hints at the colorful harmonies and cinematic touches that would later define his musical language. The concert will be a shorter, concentrated experience without an intermission. Program: Joseph Haydn: String Quartet, Op. 20 No. 5 (20') Erich Wolfgang: Piano Trio, Op. 1 (30')
