Franz Peter Schubert (1797-1828) grew-up in a supportive family where his schoolmaster father, Franz Theodor Schubert, and his older brother Ignaz, provided him with musical training on the viola. From there he went on to learn to play the organ at his local parish church. Schubert’s young talent eventually earned him a scholarship placement at the Stadtkonvikt, which was the premier boarding school for commoners. While there, he also earned a place as a singer in the Imperial Court chapel. At the Stadtkonvikt, Schubert’s music theory and composition teacher was none other than the famed court composer Antonio Salieri.

Piano Quintets with Hamelin

Originally composed for the short film of the same name by artist Jyll Bradley, Woman Holding a Balance evokes the interplay of light, space, and geometry through the medium of the string quartet. Musical cycles, metamorphosis, and the “self” surge forth in Strange Loops, inspired by the 2007 book I Am a Strange Loop by Douglas Hofstadter. Rounding out the program is the much-loved Septet by Ludwig van Beethoven. Filled with youthful exuberance, this chamber music classic shows the composer on the verge of his early symphonic successes and command of musical vivacity.
