  • Curtis On Tour
  • Feb 22, 2022 @ 7:30 P.M.

Presented by Brevard Music Center

In February 2022, Curtis on Tour offers a program of cello quintets. The brilliant Quintet in C major, D. 956, written by Franz Schubert for two violins, viola, and two cellos, is one of the finest and most compelling works in the chamber music repertoire. Schubert’s masterpiece will be paired with a new companion piece, co-commissioned by Curtis for this tour, by composition faculty Richard Danielpour. The ensemble will be led by faculty members and renowned chamber musicians Ida Kavafian and Peter Wiley, both former members of the internationally-acclaimed Beaux Arts Trio.
