5:00pm - 6:00pm - Schubert’s "Death And The Maiden"

Works For A String Quartet
"Death And The Maiden" Is One Of Franz Schubert’s Most Gripping And Emotional Works, Written During A Time Of Personal Turmoil. The Quartet’s Name Is Inspired By Schubert’s Earlier Song In Which A Young Woman Pleads With Death To Spare Her Life. Death Responds With A Chilling Calmness, Assuring Her That He Is A Friend Who Will Bring Peace. Through Its Dramatic Contrasts, Haunting Melodies, And Moments Of Tenderness, The Quartet Captures The Tension Between Fear And Acceptance, Making It A Profound Meditation On Mortality And The Human Condition.
