Peter Schickele — Piano Quintet No. 2
The Georgian Chamber Players present a concert at Eddie's Attic in downtown Decatur, GA. The concert includes 2 major works. One is a brilliant work by Mozart, his 2nd Piano Quartet. That is followed by a work written in 1997 by Peter Schickele. Schickele is perhaps best known for humrous works written by the fictional "P.D.Q. Bach," but he also composed extensively under his own name and his 2nd quintet for piano and strings will be presented.
Doors open at 6pm.
