Westchester Philharmonic String Quartet Presents "Forged In Fire"

Westchester Philharmonic String Quartet Presents "Forged In Fire"

Event Details

Crawford Mansion, 122 N Ridge St, Rye Brook, NY, 10573

Prokofiev: String Quartet No. 2 in F Major

Brahms: String Quartet No. 1 in C Minor

Both of these composers approached the string quartet form with reverence and some intimidation, with the examples of Haydn and Beethoven looming over them. Brahms is said to have thrown over 20 string quartets into the fireplace before settling on this “No. 1,” and Prokofiev composed his “2nd” while an evacuee from Moscow as Nazi air raids bombarded the city.

Robert Chausow and Martin Agee, violins; Michael Roth, viola; Eugene Moye, cello
