Midtown Concerts presents NEMA a4

Description

NEMA a4

Death and the Maiden

Manami Mizumoto ~ violin
Edson Scheid ~ violin
Andrew Gonzalez ~ viola
Nathan Whittaker ~ violoncello

In 1824 Franz Schubert was staring down his own mortality, but what he saw back was anything but morose. The result was his seminal Death and the Maiden string quartet, full of energy and beauty, delicacy and ferocity, and ultimately a life-affirming search for the human condition.

Four of New York City’s most beloved historical string specialists, Manami Mizumoto, Edson Scheid, Andrew Gonzalez, and Nathan Whittaker have collectively performed on some of North America and Europe’s most prestigious stages. They are excited to join forces to present this pillar of the chamber music repertoire on gut strings and period bows, the way Schubert would have envisioned it.

1:15–2:00 pm

All concerts are free; no tickets or reservations are necessary.

In person at St. Malachy's Church, 239 West 49th Street, Manhattan
