Margaret Batjer Director of Chamber Music
Step into an enchanting evening of erudite string sextets from Brahms, each brimming with emotional complexity and harmonic depth, Tales of joy, yearning, and nostalgia unfold in the language of strings. While composers had explored the string sextet before Brahms, these works redefined the canon and endure as cornerstones of the chamber music repertoire.
A BRAHMSIAN AFFAIR is made possible, in part, with the generous support from Dana + Ned Newman. Additional support is provided by Brigitta B. Troy + Alden Lawrence.
