About
Death and the Maiden
Anna McMichael and Jennifer Kirsner, period violins
Meg Cohen, period viola
Josephine Vains, period cello
The highlight of this concert will be Schubert’s famed quartet, Death and the Maiden, written in 1824 when he was in the throes of severe illness and aware of impending mortality, trawls the depths of despair with unparalleled vibrancy and urgency. Experiencing Schubert’s momentous work on gut strings will introduce our audience in the Church to the vivid colours and expressive sensitivities intended, brining it to new life. Coupled with the wonderfully rich palette of Beethoven’s quartet Opus 18, No.1, the second movement of which depicts the vault scene from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, this program is one not to be missed.
