Schubert Perspectives #3
Program
Ligeti: String Quartet No. 2
Tyshawn Sorey: Everything Changes, Nothing Changes
Schubert: Quartet in A Minor, D. 804, Op. 29 “Rosamunde”
Musicians
Isidore Quartet (Adrian Steele, violin; Phoenix Avalon, violin; Devin Moore, viola; Joshua McClendon, cello)
The Isidore Quartet – skyrocketing to the heights of the music world since winning the Avery Fisher Career Grant and the Banff International String Quartet Competition and their debut at DACAMERA in 2023 – return with a strikingly diverse program, juxtaposing Schubert’s quartet with twentieth and twenty-first century works. We begin with the Hungarian composer Gyorgy Ligeti’s second quartet, where numerous musical lines weave together to create a dramatic soundscape. Pulitzer Prize-winner Tyshawn Sorey’s Everything Changes, Nothing Changes is a tour-de-force of subtle voicings, beautifully shifting harmonies and pulsating string sounds. We close with Schubert’s deeply expressive “Rosamunde” Quartet, admired for its emotional directness and eloquent beauty.
“Amazing…The ensemble was tight and all the playing stunning, full of clarity and nuance….Don’t pass up any chances to hear the Isidore”
— Boston Musical Intelligencer
