SCHOENBERG: String Quartet No. 2 in F-sharp minor, Op. 10 SCHUBERT:
String Quartet No. 14 in D minor (Death and the Maiden) The Calder
Quartet is at the vanguard of an exhilarating new generation of
American string quartets breathing renewed life into classic
repertoire and forging new paths forward through close relationships
with living composers. The Los Angeles-based ensemble, fresh off its
post as the Juilliard Graduate Resident String Quartet, returns to Cal
Performances for Schubert's masterful rumination on mortality, the
Death and the Maiden quartet; and a rarely performed Schoenberg
quartet featuring soprano. "These four players exuded a kind of
rapture in which they were very much in tune with not only the pulse
on the page or the score's moody melodies and richly somber harmonies,
but also of each other" (Los Angeles Times).
