Overview

A quartet of musicians from the iconic Chicago Symphony Orchestra respond to Professor Steven Rings’ prompt to explore “Music in Times of Crisis.” This somber and reflective chamber music program explores Samuel Barber’s String Quartet in B Minor, Op. 11 with its seminal “Adagio,”Dmitri Shostakovich’s String Quartet No. 8–dedicated to “the victims of fascism and the war”–and Bohuslav Jan Martinů’s Three Madrigals, inspired by Mozart’s String Duos and English madrigal tradition.

Please note: this event takes place at Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts at University of Chicago
