Delgani IV – Shadow & Light

Jennifer Higdon — In the Shadow of the Mountain
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart — String Quartet No. 19 in C major, K. 465 "Dissonance"
Maurice Ravel — String Quartet in F major

Delgani completes the season with three quartets that showcase the vibrant color and dynamic contrast of the string quartet. Jennifer Higdon's In the Shadow of the Mountain (2020), opens the program. Mozart's "Dissonance" Quartet gained its moniker with its haunting slow introduction, disorienting the listener with its slippery harmony. Ravel's String Quartet, famous for its lush melodies and the unique (and incredibly catchy) pizzicato textures of its second movement, closes the program.
