The requirements have changed. Whoever is playing chamber music today can’t be limited to the rules from decades ago. Expectations regarding the diversity of repertoire have also changed, which creates room for ensembles like the Fauré Quartett, which has established itself as one of the world’s leading piano quartets within just a few years. They discover new sound fields in chamber music and perform compositions outside of the mainstream repertoire. They are visionary in their approach and highly regarded for their technique and nuance. Dirk Mommertz, piano; Erika Geldsetzer, violin; Sascha Froembling, viola; Konstantin Heidrich, cello.

PROGRAM: Mahler: “Klavierquartettsatz”; Fauré: Piano Quartet in C Minor, Op. 15; Brahms: Piano Quartet in G Minor, Op 25.

This performance is dedicated in loving memory of our brother, John B. (Jack) Bourne, a music lover who treasured Clarisse, Richard and Sarah.
