Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky – Sextet for Two Violins, Two Violas, and Two Cellos, Op. 70, "Souvenir de Florence" (1890; rev. 1891-92)

A feast for the eyes and ears, Bartók’s ingenious creation stands alone in the chamber music literature, an astonishing synthesis of percussion and keyboard. Also featured on the program are two more milestones: Dohnányi’s delectable Serenade, the 20th century’s first string trio, and Tchaikovsky’s String Sextet ne plus ultra, "Souvenir de Florence."

This performance is approximately 2 hours with intermission.

The livestream will take place at 5pm ET / 2pm PT.
