Musicians from the Curtis Institute of Music play Schubert’s Quintet and more

Live in-person concert
Musicians from the Curtis Institute of Music

In this first concert in a new alliance between 92Y and the world-renowned Curtis Institute of Music, an ensemble comprising esteemed faculty — including Ida Kavafian on violin and Peter Wiley on cello — and recent alumni of Curtis perform one of the greatest masterworks in chamber music, Schubert’s sublimely beautiful C-Major Quintet.

The quintet is followed by the New York premiere of a new work by another member of Curtis’ faculty, with Grammy Award-winning composer Richard Danielpour’s A Shattered Vessel. Written 190 years after the Schubert work for the same instrumentation of two violins, viola and two cellos, A Shattered Vessel contemplates crisis and struggle, loss and healing, renewal and gratitude. A splendid and soulful program from some of the finest chamber musicians performing today.

Ida Kavafian, violin
Lun Li, violin
Cara Pogossian, viola
Peter Wiley, cello
Francis Carr, cello

  • Danielpour, String Quintet (“A Shattered Vessel”) (NY premiere)
