The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center presents an all-Schubert program that shares an in-depth look at the late works of Schubert featuring the brilliant pianist Gilbert Kalish and the Escher String Quartet. Schubert never finished his Quartettsatz, and both his Piano Sonata in B-flat and G major String Quartet were the last he wrote in both genres. This is a rare and gorgeous, not-to-be-missed program.
Gates open 90 minutes before the performance.
