The internationally acclaimed Schumann Quartet, featuring brothers Mark, Erik, and Ken Schumann together with violist Veit Hertenstein, will perform evocative works by Mozart, Janáček, and Beethoven. First, a Mozart quartet noted for its drum-like percussive energy; then, music of Leos Janáček, inspired by the psychological drama of Leo Tolstoy’s short story “The Kreutzer Sonata.” The program concludes with Beethoven’s brilliant Quartet in E-flat major (Op. 127), full of plenty of opportunities to hear the “fire and energy” that critics have praised in this ensemble for years.
