This program explores multiple outlooks on life and chamber music. Described as a, “fervent, celebratory investigation into joy itself,” Paul Wiancko’s “Lift” explodes with adventurous textures that span the full sonic range of the string quartet. The program continues with two short contemplative pieces by Olafur Arnalds, and concludes with Schubert’s epic “Death and the Maiden,” a passionate dance with death that was only published after Schubert’s own death in 1828.Program
