Avalon String Quartet in Chicago - Thursday, February 10, 2011 at 7:30 pm
The Avalon String Quartet will be joined by soprano Julia Bentley, for an evening that focuses on the Viennese song tradition. The program will include the following:
Berg: Lyric Suite (With Julia Bentley, mezzo-soprano)
Schubert: String Quartet in d minor, "Death and the Maiden"
Schubert's string quartet in d, one of his most beloved, takes its nickname from his own song by the same name, which becomes the main theme of the famous second movement of the quartet. Alban Berg and his contemporaries took the lyricism inherent in the song tradition perfected by Schubert into the expressionist musical language of the Second Viennese School.
Julia Bentley is a Chicago-based singer of international renown who has distinguished herself particularly in music of the 20th and 21st centuries.
