CHAMBER MUSIC: DVOŘÁK PIANO QUARTET

Fellows of the New World Symphony are back on the New World Center stage to present live chamber music! Dvořák infused his Piano Quartet with his characteristic lyrical genius and folk influences. Its song-like second movement evokes tremendous beauty and yearning, while the finale is charged with exuberance. Frederick Tillis’ jazz background is on full display in his feature for brass and percussion. In her first string quartet, Caroline Shaw taps into nostalgia using snippets of a well-known chorale from J.S. Bach’s St. Matthew Passion. “The Cowboy’s Lament” gets reimagined in Ian Dicke’s bass trombone feature.
