This program presents works by four of the world’s most famous composers. The twist is that three of them are not like other works that the composer created. In addition, three of these great masters wrote many other monumental works outside of the chamber music realm, and one of them invented the most iconic of all chamber music forms. Join us as we explore what happens when creative geniuses go on an unexpected journey and compose outside of the box!
