Da Camera kicks off a season-long exploration of Romanticism with the renowned
Juilliard String Quartet, presenting the quartet’s first Houston appearance with new
first violinist Nick Eanet. The program features performances celebrating the 200th
anniversary of the births of two geniuses, Felix Mendelssohn (b. 1809) and Robert
Schumann (b. 1810). Da Camera Artistic Director Sarah Rothenberg joins
members of the Quartet for Schumann’s lyrical, exuberant and quintessentially
romantic piano quartet.
Nick Eanet has been a chamber music player his entire life, first performing with
a quartet at the precocious age of five. He was a member of the Mendelssohn String
Quartet earlier in his career and had continued his chamber music performance while
a member of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra since 1999. His playing has been called
“brilliant and passionate” by The New York Times.
“Whether playing Beethoven, Schubert, Bartók or Carter, the Juilliard Quartet remains
unsurpassed in bringing attention to details and expressive devices.”
— Cleveland Plain Dealer
“Ms. Rothenberg is an excellent pianist with an interesting mind.”
— The New York Times
