The complex textures and rich harmonies characteristic of Richard Wagner’s compositions had a magnetic force on the composers featured on this afternoon’s program. From Strauss’ lusciously scored and radiantly colorful Sextet from his opera "Capriccio" and a string version of Berg’s intense "Piano Sonata" to arrangements and works in honor of Wagner by his own father-in-law, Franz Liszt, this program is a testament to the dominant force of this Romantic master. The program ends with the rarely heard, lushly exuberant "Sextet" by Hungarian composer Ernst Von Dohnányi for strings, clarinet, and horn. This event is part of La Jolla Music Society's SummerFest 2022, with a prelude performance by the Pelia Quartet at 2 p.m. Date | Sunday, August 14 at 3 p.m. Location | The Baker-Baum Concert Hall at The Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center Get tickets here!

Stirred by the sublime lyricism and expressive richness of the Romantic era, the composers on this evening’s program display passionate intensity and striking emotional honesty. We begin with Schubert’s "Quartettsatz," one of the pieces that helped pave the road to the Romantic era, followed by the première of Marc-André Hamelin’s lush "Piano Quintet," heard in its recently completed version for the first time, and we end with Dvořák’s "Piano Trio in F Minor," perhaps the composer’s most romantic outpouring and one that owes much to his mentor, Johannes Brahms. This show is part of La Jolla Music Society's SummerFest 2022, and features a prelude lecture by Alex Ross at 6:30 p.m. at The JAI.
