Join Palaver Strings for a program that explores multiple outlooks on life and chamber music.
🎻
Described as a, “fervent, celebratory investigation into joy itself,” Paul Wiancko’s “Lift” explodes with adventurous textures that span the full sonic range of the string quartet.
🎼
The program continues with two short contemplative pieces by Olafur Arnalds, and concludes with Schubert’s epic “Death and the Maiden,” a passionate dance with death that was only published after Schubert’s own death in 1828.
