The sublime meets the sensational in Convergence, with music by Mozart, Ligeti and Schubert that ignites the imagination and brings the stunning voices of three legendary composers into focus.

With a warm and welcoming embrace, the grace of Mozart’s lyrical Prussian Quartet in D Major opens this concert of music familiar, daring and masterful. Ligeti’s groundbreaking String Quartet No.2 is an enthralling, kaleidoscopic journey through otherworldly textures and virtuosic writing for strings. The second half of Convergence reaches its emotional peak with one of the greatest quartets of all time, Schubert’s enduringly popular fourteenth quartet—Death and the Maiden—a gripping celebration of life and death.
