PROGRAM

MOZART
String Quartet No.21 in D Major, K.575, Prussian

LIGETI

SCHUBERT
String Quartet No.14 in D minor, Death and the Maiden


With a warm and welcoming embrace, the grace of Mozart’s lyrical Prussian Quartet in D Major opens this concert of music familiar, daring and masterful. Ligeti’s groundbreaking String Quartet No.2 is an enthralling, kaleidoscopic journey through otherworldly textures and virtuosic writing for strings. The second half of Convergence reaches its emotional peak with one of the greatest quartets of all time, Schubert’s enduringly popular fourteenth quartet—Death and the Maiden—a gripping celebration of life and death.
