#FlashbackFriday (2017): Franz Schubert's String Quintet in C major, also known as the "Cello Quintet" because it is scored for a standard string quartet plus an extra cello, is one of the great compositions in all chamber music. Not surprisingly, it is a favorite among Heifetz Institute ensembles. To kick off this evening's "Schubertiade" in which we present all four movements of the piece, each from a different memorable performance from our faculty ensembles over the years, we share a sneak peek of one of the fantastic groups featuring Mark Kaplan, Nicholas Kitchen, Matthew Cohen, Ralph Kirshbuam, and Timothy Eddy.

Tune in tonight at 7:30pm (EDT) to hear this incredibly unique presentation of the entire work in the Heifetz Celebrity Series as part of Rubato: The Virtual Concert Hall.

*NEW FOR HEIFETZ 2020* From the July 30 Stars of Tomorrow concert from Heifetz Rubato: The Virtual Concert Hall for our 2020 Summer Institute. If chamber music performances are marked by the intimacy with the instrumentalists, you’re unlikely to get much more up close and personal than being brought in to the performer’s own home. This remarkable collaboration from all four corners of the globe features violinists Carlos Arroyo (Spain), Minji Lee (South Korea), violist Tal McGee (Texas), and cellist Caroline Paulsen (Illinois) executing an extremely natural and compelling performance Mozart’s String Quartet No. 14, and they explain the challenges and rewards of this type of remote music making.
