Although Johannes Brahms and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky did not get along, both are among the most important composers of the Romantic era. The first part of the programme consists of Brahms’s String Sextet No. 1, one of a series of outstanding chamber works from the mid-nineteenth century, while the second will be devoted to Tchaikovsky’s “Souvenir de Florence”, a work that combines classical form with melodies inspired by folk music.
The two works will be interpreted by the multifaceted violinist Gary Levinson, acclaimed by critics for his instinctive and expansive musicality and his virtuosic technique, violinist Anton Ilyunin, violist Michael Klotz, one of the few musicians to hold a double master’s degree in violin and viola from the Juilliard School, the young violist Adam Savage, cellist Inbal Segev and cellist Ani Aznavoorian, recipient of the Bunkamura Orchard Hall Award.
