Schubert’s “Trout” Quintet Performance
One of the most beloved chamber music works for strings and piano, Schubert’s “Trout” Quintet not only demonstrates Schubert’s genius for melody and lyricism but also features a distinct combination of instruments: piano, only one violin, viola, cello, and the addition of double bass.
The richness of the low strings will be heard in Mozart’s Adagio and Fugue, a piece that deepens the string quartet’s tonal range. A set of piano quartets by Mozart will also be performed, the first music written for this combination of instruments which has inspired generations of composers.
Bach’s Fuge in F minor for Violin, Viola, and Cello will lead off the evening.
Tickets for the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center performance of Schubert’s Trout Quintet are $55, $40, and $25 online at scmcgr.org or by calling 616-459-2224. (Single tickets have a $4.00 per ticket fee.)
St. Cecilia Music Center will also bring Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center back for a final concert this season on April 24, 2025, performing Tchaikovsky’s Souvenir de Florence. CMS Co-Artistic Director David Finckel will be joined by colleagues from around the world in a program featuring string sextets, an ensemble comprised of pairs of violins, violas, and cellos.
