Music in Times of Crisis
A quartet of musicians from the iconic Chicago Symphony Orchestra respond to Professor Steven Rings’ prompt to explore “Music in Times of Crisis.” This moving and reflective chamber music program explores Samuel Barber's String Quartet in B Minor, Op. 11 with its seminal "Adagio," Dmitri Shostakovich’s String Quartet No. 8–dedicated to “the victims of fascism and the war”–and Bohuslav Jan Martinů's Three Madrigals, inspired by Mozart's String Duos and English madrigal tradition.
Join us in exploring Music in Times of Crisis during a pre-concert lecture (2:00 PM) with Associate Professor Steven Rings and post-concert discussion with the artists moderated by Professor Rings.
