These unparalleled musicians from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra explore music composed inside the world of specific cultures. The program includes one of Haydn’s best-known piano trios and Bartók’s Contrasts (filled with Hungarian and Romanian dance melodies), and closes with a later work of Brahms, one of the first works composed for an ensemble featuring clarinet.

The Plymouth Ensemble presents a program framed with works by Mozart and Brahms. The towering Piano Quartet No. 3 in C Minor is a product of the most stressful period of Brahms’ life — namely, his ill-fated love affair with Clara Schumann. Brahms’ frustration at the impossibility of their love tempered the mood of this quartet, echoing his emotional turmoil through music. Mozart’s genial Piano Quartet No. 2 in E-flat Major is the second of his two piano quartets that virtually invented the genre.
