PIANO QUARTETS: MOZART, COPLAND, TANEYEV

Sunday, April 14, 3 pm, International House

Tuesday, April 16, 7:30 pm Fourth Presbyterian

 

Explore the art of the piano quartet with works by three very different composers from three different eras in Europe, the United States and Russia. This program offers the rare opportunity to hear Mozart's less-often-performed Quartet No. 2, along with a quartet that shows a surprising side of Aaron Copland and a grand Romantic work by Russian master Alexander Taneyev.

 

Stephen Boe, violin • Paul Vanderwerf, viola • Andrew Snow, cello • Gerald Rizzer, piano
