[Past Event] ANAM Presents: Sublime String Quintets

ANAM Presents Sublime String Quintets, an enchanting chamber showcase led by Polish violinist, Jakub Jakowicz — exemplary chamber musician, teacher and soloist.

Schubert’s warm-hearted masterwork is that rare string quintet featuring two cellos rather than two violas. It’s bookended in this concert by a work written for the same forces; but where Schubert’s Quintet is acknowledged as one of the greatest of all chamber works, Maliszewski’s magnificent Quintet is a major rediscovery.

Lutosławski was one of Maliszewski’ students. At first, this Polish composer’s music was suppressed by his Russian masters, but by the end of his life he’d become an iconic musical figure of his time.
