About this event
The New York-based Isidore String Quartet makes its Frick debut with a program partly inspired by a teacher and his pupil. Frank Bridge's Three Idylls (1906) sit beside the Three Divertimenti of Benjamin Britten, who studied with Bridge as a teenager and later built his Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge on the second of Bridge’s Idylls. Mozart's String Quartet No. 21 in D Major, K. 575, closes the first half, the first of the "Prussian" quartets, composed with Prussia's cello-playing king in mind and giving that instrument rare prominence. After intermission, star pianist Conrad Tao joins the quartet for Schumann's Piano Quintet in E-flat Major, Op. 44, the work that established the piano quintet as a genre.
