Habsburg Harmonies: Haydn, Ligeti, and Brahms

Presented by The Colburn School

This concert is included in this package: Season Sampler

Travel across the centuries in this program of vibrant chamber works rooted in the rich Austro-Hungarian musical tradition. First, Haydn’s “Quinten” string quartet masterfully darts from major to minor as each movement transforms and embellishes the central theme. The winds then take center stage for Ligeti’s whimsical Six Bagatelles, a piece saturated with Hungarian folk melodies, before two violins, two violas, and a cello close out the concert with Brahms’s radiant and warm String Quintet No. 1. 

Enhance your concert experience with a delightful afternoon tea at the Colburn Café before the show. Enjoy a variety of finger sandwiches, scones, and pastries while you are served your choice of delectable tea. Learn more
