Danish String Quartet Presented by UCSB A&L

Program:

Schubert: String Quintet in C Major, D. 956

Thomas Adès: New work for string quintet (A&L co-commission)

Schubert (arr. Danish String Quartet): Lied to be announced

The Danish String Quartet is joined by Finnish cellist Johannes Rostamo for the eagerly-anticipated capstone to their international Doppelgänger Project.

In part IV, the Danish pairs Schubert’s String Quintet, frequently cited among the greatest of all works of chamber music, with a new piece by renowned British composer Thomas Adès.

Part III of the project was heralded by The New York Times as “ensemble music at its purest – a consensus interpretation, rendered selflessly in service of the group as instrument.”
