Piano Quintets

The friendship between Johannes Brahms and Antonin Dvorák is one of the most extraordinary musical relationships in music history. This morning concert celebrates the piano quintet and each composer’s prolific contributions to the form. Brahms’ Quintet is “often called the crown of his chamber music,” and Dvorák’s a “masterpiece in the form.” The Newport Classical Festival Artists breathe new life into these iconic works in this deep and invigorating morning concert.


This concert is dedicated to Robert H. Connell and Michelle Duffy in recognition of their generous support of Newport Classical.


PROGRAM:
BRAHMS Piano Quintet in F minor, Op. 34
DVOŘÁK Piano Quintet No. 2 in A Major, Op. 81, B. 155
