Schubert - Piano Quintet in A major, D. 667 The Trout

This special collaboration sees four of our faculty members team up with Caroline Almonte, one of Australia's leading pianists, chamber musicians, and educators, with a distinguished international career spanning solo and chamber music performances across multiple continents.
Composed in 1819 when he was 22 years old, Schubert’s fabled quintet exchanged the second violin for the warmth and richness of a double bass. Probably the popular favourite among his chamber works and best known for the fourth movement’s shimmering variations on the earlier Lied ‘Die Forelle’ (The Trout; from whence this Quintet gained its popular epithet), this evergreen Quintet is defined by a blossoming of joyous conviviality that is unique in Schubert’s oeuvre.
