About this Event

Passion originally meant “great suffering,” but today it is more often used to connote romantic love. This program will present great works of chamber music that depict both suffering and love, as well as other emotionally-charged works ranging from ecstatic fervor, to burning desire, to utter despair.

The program will include Shostakovitch’s String Quartet No. 8, written in response to the bombing of Dresden in World War II, and Johannes Brahms’ great C Minor Piano Quartet, a work inspired by a tale of unrequited love. As an homage to the original meaning of passion, one of  Biber’s Mystery Sonatas for Violin and Keyboard, subtitled “Crucifixion,” will be included as well.
