Schedule:
11:00 a.m: Grotto I: 19th Century Classics at Colorado River Wilderness Grotto
Two of the greatest German masterpieces for piano and strings fill the perfect acoustics of the magical Grotto. Schumann and Brahms were the closest of friends, Schumann being a bit older and acting in a mentoring role for Brahms. Brahms would revere Schumann throughout his life, paying musical homage to him in many of his compositions. Schumann’s sunny and optimistic Quartet puts into relief Brahms’ brooding, probing and emotionally wrenching Quintet.
