The Ciompi Quartet

In a concert celebrating composer Arnold Schoenberg’s 150th anniversary, the Ciompi Quartet performs a program of works connected by time and place. Mozart’s Vienna produced quartets like his K. 589: formally perfect, deeply learned, but with an effortless grace. Erich Korngold and Arnold Schoenberg, both raised in Vienna, were polar-opposites by the mid-1930s when they arrived in Los Angeles: Schoenberg was an avant-garde modernist and a revered figure in the Academy (UCLA); Korngold was a composer of lush romantic scores that were sought after by Hollywood. Both wrote brilliant quartets that gave their Viennese origins a 20th century incarnation.

The Program
W.A. Mozart: String Quartet #22 in B-flat major, K. 589
Arnold Schoenberg: String Quartet #4, Op. 37 (1936)
