Part of the Gernsheim Festival: Rediscovering a Master

This concert features the TŌN Chamber Players spotlighting two of Friedrich Gernsheim’s most Romantic chamber works for strings: the passionate and elegiac String Quartet No. 2, which displays some Brahmsian influence; and the lively and lyrical String Quintet No. 2, one of the composer’s final works before his death in 1916.

The Gernsheim Festival is graciously underwritten by E&V ProArte.
