Playing on period Italian instruments, Modigliani Quartet will grace us with works by giants of the string quartet: Haydn’s #67 with its unusual opening, Adagio, and closing movements; then we sample a charmingly rich work written by a young Beethoven while under the tutelage of Papa Haydn. While the key may point to a previous melancholy Schubert work, Brahms threads lightness, joy, and vulnerable beauty throughout his quartet #2 within a tapestry of canons, polyphony, and counterpoint.
