A Harmonious Journey Through Time: PCMS March and April Highlights

The members of the Danish Quartet have an extensive history of musical collaboration. For this PCMS appearance, they bring their Doppelgänger project, an ambitious four-year international commissioning project in which four composers create new works in response to a masterwork by Franz Schubert. In this program, they pair Schubert’s transcendent final string quartet (completed months before he passed away) with Danish composer Bent Sørensen’s 2020 work Doppelgänger. “The piece is in two movements, and between and within them there are mirror effects… the only traces of Schubert in my piece are some recurring clean and pure G Major chords often transformed, as in the Schubert quartet, to G Minor” (Bent Sørensen).
