Storm and Splendor: The Kreutzer Sonata

The April Festival Pre-Concert Talks:

Deepen your experience with intimate Pre-Concert Talks during our April Festival, where Wu Han and artists gather on stage to share both insights into the music and personal stories—inviting you into the conversation behind the performance.

Pre-Concert Talk - 6:45 PM Concert - 7:30 PM

Mozart Quintet for Horn, Violin, Two Violas and Cello in E-flat major, K. 407

Beethoven Violin Sonata in A major, Op. 47, Kreutzer

Arensky Piano Quintet in D major, Op. 51

Things take a fiercely dramatic turn from Mozart’s opening Quintet with Beethoven’s Kreutzer Sonata, the high point of the violin repertoire, before closing with Arensky’s Piano Quintet, a work that moves from stormy drama through a folk-song movement to a triumphant final flourish.
