Ralph Vaughan Williams — Phantasy Quintet
Come hear what makes Brahms' Viola Quintet Op. 111 so great, and why the rarely heard Fantasia for Viola Quintet by Vaughan Williams should be more well known!

With an emphasis on intimacy and audience engagement, each 75-minute, no-intermission concert features world-class performers, insightful introductions to the composers and their works, and opportunities for dialogue between the artists and audience.
