Schubert Perspectives #3
Program
Grouping of early chant – Bach – Brahms works arranged for string quartet
LIGETI: String Quartet No. 2
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 skyrocketed 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. They return with a strikingly diverse program. An evocative grouping of early chant, Bach and Brahms works arranged for string quartet opens the program. In Hungarian composer Gyorgy Ligeti’s second quartet, numerous musical lines weave together to create a dramatic soundscape. We close with Schubert’s deeply expressive “Rosamunde” Quartet, admired for its emotional directness and eloquent beauty.
The Quartet’s premiere recording, Adorations, with music of Haydn, Samuel Barber, Mendelssohn and Florence Price, is out now. Listen here.
