About this Event
This resounding program showcases foundational pieces that Brahms and Fauré composed early on in their careers. Fauré’s ebullient sonata — called “magical” and “audacious” by composer Camille Saint-Saëns at its premiere — contrasts with Brahms’s first piano quartet, famous for its stormy temperament and infectious “gypsy” rondo finale. Caroline Shaw’s reverberant duo explores music as texture, imagining sound as hard and soft. Bahms's Piano Quartet in G Minor with violist Daniel Foster completes this virtuosic program.
