Close Encounters With Music presents Mozart and Schubert—Marzipan and the “Trout”

Two great melodists, two young geniuses in one brilliant evening: Bubbly, like fine Champagne, Schubert’s “Trout” Quintet is one of the most joyous pieces ever written. A landmark of classical music, it weaves a net of enchantment with its catchy melodies and fresh exuberance. This piece has it all—elegance, beauty and irrepressible good humor; music from the pen of a 22 year old prodigy inspired by the tragic-comic death of a fish that captures the glories of Nature. The program also features Mozart’s Quartet in E-flat Major, a reminder that the unearthly beauties of Mozart defy explanation.
