HAYDN: String Quartet No. 36 in B-flat major, Op. 50, No. 1
BERG: Lyric Suite
DVOŘÁK: Piano Quintet in A major, Op. 81
The Musicians from Marlboro touring program was created as an extension of Vermont's esteemed Marlboro Music Festival, connecting bright young talents with seasoned masters for chamber music concerts hailed for their "freshness, rich imagination and sheer vitality" (Washington Post). Here the ensemble, featuring Juilliard Quartet violist Samuel Rhodes, plays two string quartets—a rarely performed work from Haydn's Op. 50 quartets, and Alban Berg's masterful psychological drama, the Lyric Suite. Respected piano recitalist Cynthia Raim joins the quartet for Dvořák's sublime Piano Quintet in A major.
