Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival: 2024

“We have before us three staples of canonic genre: the sonata, the quartet, and the quintet. But reality is never that simple. One is an archaism, one a subversion, and the other an act of invention, though they all parade as self-evident. Which is to say that ‘genre’ is never a given; it's what you do with your medium that counts.”
