About this event

Our concert features three vastly differing and unique voices from composers whose cultural DNA is audibly imprinted in every phrase. In the Piano Quartet in A minor, Opus 67, written in 1931, composer Joaquín Turina infuses his music with the spirit of his homeland, Spain. William Grant Still, referred to as the dean of African-American composers, wrote his Suite for Violin and Piano in 1943. He found his inspiration from three sculptures: Richmond Barthé's African Dancer, Sargent Johnson's Mother and Child, and Augusta Savage's Gamin. Each of these works was created in the 1930s, and each artist was associated with the Harlem Renaissance. We bring our season to a close with one of the first and still most beloved chamber compositions by Johannes Brahms, the Piano Quartet No. 1 in G minor, Opus 25. This masterpiece possesses a distinctive style with roots in Hungary and "gypsy" music. One can easily imagine being in the streets of Vienna.
