Tuesday Evening at 6:30 pm
NOVEMBER 19, 2024
Described by The New York Times as “ensemble music at its finest,” the Danish String Quartet returns to String Theory in a dramatic and poignant program. Known for her musical ingenuity, Caroline Shaw’s “Entr’acte” showcases a distinctive style complete with intricate textures and inventive use of strings. In her own words, the piece is “structured like a minuet and trio, riffing on that classical form but taking it a little further.” Musical innovation also prevails in Schubert’s towering String Quartet no. 15 in G Major. Written two years before his death, the work’s emotional extremes and sublime beauty foreshadow the signature characteristics of the Romantic Era. Come witness the brilliance of the Danish String Quartet!
