GARDEN OF EROS
Ariel Quartet
Featuring guest artist Alessio Bax, piano

Exploring the world of emotion and its expression, this performance begins with Leoš Janáček's String Quartet No. 2, dubbed his "manifesto on love;" and Louis Andriessen’s Garden of Eros, a work inspired by Jan Engelman’s cycle of poems, and composed with as many musical beats as there are poetic syllables. The program’s finale features Avery Fisher Grant recipient Alessio Bax on the brilliant Dvořák piano quintet.

JANÁČEK: String Quartet No. 2, “Intimate Letters”
