Experience an enchanting afternoon of live chamber music for piano and strings in the excellent acoustics of The Park Theatre in Jaffrey. The Mahler Piano Quartet is a hidden gem in the classical chamber music repertoire. Composed when he was still a teenager, before Mahler wrote his better known symphonies, this piece showcases the unlimited potential of youth. The quartet takes listeners on a journey through a range of emotions, from tender and introspective moments to bursts of passionate intensity. Schumann’s Piano Quartet was written in 1842 and stands as one of his most beloved and enduring chamber music creations. Brahms’s Piano Quartet in C minor is often viewed as an ode to unrequited love with most of the work’s themes featuring a tribute to his beloved, Clara Schumann.
