Schubert’s Finest Hour - New Milford

The String Quintet in C Major – scored for two violins, a viola, and two cellos – is among the handful of greatest chamber works ever.  Composed in September of 1828, during the final weeks of Schubert's life, the Quintet was the composer's last instrumental work and ranks among his greatest accomplishments.  With his decision to use a second cello, he revolutionized the art of writing for strings, producing sounds that no one had ever created before in a small string ensemble

Performing are Susan Rotholz, flute; Michael Roth, violin; Jane Chung, violin; Richard Wolfe, viola; Eliot Bailen, cello; and Sarah Hewett, cello.

Tickets $30. Children ages 16 and under free
