Join us in exploring Music in the Vernacular during a pre-concert lecture (2:00 PM) with Associate Professor Steven Rings and post-concert discussion with the artists moderated by Professor Rings.
These unparalleled musicians from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra explore music composed inside the world of specific cultures. The program includes one of Haydn’s best-known piano trios, Bartók’s Contrasts (filled with Hungarian and Romanian dance melodies), and closes with a later work of Brahms, one of the first chamber works composed for an ensemble featuring clarinet.
