Shai Wosner & the Parker Quartet

The Parkers and Israeli-American pianist Shai Wosner take turns during a program organized around "the Schubert effect." As on his excellent recent album, Wosner teases out a connection between the great composer and the postminimalist, contemporary-sound world of Missy Mazzoli (whose Isabelle Eberhardt Dreams of Pianos, for piano and electronics, is on the set list). For their part, the Parkers move between Schubert's "Death and the Maiden" quartet and Kurtág's Aus der Ferne V. On Feb 1, the players extend the series contrasting the Schubert's Moments musicaux for piano with the Kurtag composition of the same name (for string quartet). They join forces for Schubert's Quintet for Piano and Strings in A major.
