The Hausmann Quartet and Maritime Museum of San Diego partner to present the ninth season of Haydn Voyages: Music at the Maritime, a quarterly concert series performed aboard one of the Museum’s historic world-class vessels, the 1898 steam ferryboat Berkeley that operated for 60 years on San Francisco Bay. All concerts are Sundays at 2:30 p.m., and include an intermission for a total length of under two hours. Each creative program will also include informative and entertaining commentary between selections from noted UC Santa Barbara musicologist Derek Katz. The Hausmann Quartet would like to recognize the support of pH Projects, The Conrad Prebys Foundation and the City of San Diego Commission for Arts and Culture. KPBS is the exclusive media sponsor. The study in contrasts that is September’s program will feature the first performance of a work by Johannes Brahms on the Haydn Voyages series, as his final string quartet (opus 67) anchors a program filled with exciting variety, a characteristic we’ve come to expect and appreciate in Haydn’s work; his opus 55, no. 3 on this program certainly offers its share. The afternoon will open with This is It, a 2023 work by Reena Esmail in which she asks “asks the musicians to explore being present with one another…Each movement opens up a tiny, mutually created universe for just a few precious breaths.” Visit: Haydn Voyages Maritime Museum of San Diego on Instagram and Facebook
