“The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center is prestigious beyond belief..”
— BBC Radio 3
The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center is one of twelve constituents of Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, the largest performing arts complex in the world. This program of landmark piano quartets hails from the Romantic era, Schumann contributing the first great piano quartet of the 19th century, Brahms stoking the fire to create new heights of passion, and the young Gustav Mahler dipping his toe into the chamber music genre only once with this surprisingly powerful single-movement work. The concert is anchored by CMS’s longest-serving Artistic Directors, cellist David Finckel and pianist Wu Han, who make a rare appearance on the same tour.
