Delgani IV – Intimate Letters

Intimate Letters concludes our 9th season with two landmark quartets from the 19th and 20th centuries. Janacek's "Intimate Letters" is a portrait of passionate, unreciprocated love, seen through the hundreds of letters the composer exchanged with a much younger, married woman. The torment of love is an ever-present theme in Schubert's music, especially in his lieder, which open the program. We conclude our season with his stunning and expansive Quartet in G Major, Schubert’s last string quartet.
