San Francisco Performances favorite Jonathan Biss returns with an ambitious and intriguing series of recitals that ask contemporary American composers of three generations to consider and musically respond to the legacy of Franz Schubert. Tyshawn Sorey (b. 1980) is “a composer of radical and seemingly boundless ideas” (Wall Street Journal) who often melds composition and improvisation.

Jonathan Biss’s boundless curiosity about humanity and art make him a thoughtful and compelling performer. He is known for assembling programs that plumb the depths of history, explore sparks of creativity and affirm the unity of shared experience. San Francisco Classical Voice called him, “a pianist whose probing, incisive, and deeply considered performances are consistently challenging and rewarding.

Our historic 80th season concludes with the visionary Brentano Quartet in two of the greatest masterworks in the literature. Join us for a guided journey from the high seriousness of Beethoven’s 13th string quartet, written in the final years of the composer’s life, to the youthful celebration found in the 22-year-old Franz Schubert’s Trout Quintet, performed here with two of chamber music’s most sought-after collaborators, Jonathan Biss and Joseph Conyers.
