Dvořák Piano Quintet for Piccolo

Following the success of the Brahms Piano Quintet that they performed for a full house last year, our friends from the College of Charleston and the Charleston Symphony Orchestra join us again in the Main Reading Room to perform one of the greatest works in the chamber music repertoire, as part of Charleston’s annual Piccolo Spoleto. Experience sweeping melodies, folk influences, and expressive depth in Dvořák’s piano quintet, celebrated as a cornerstone of Romantic chamber music.

Artists

Tom Hicks (Director of Piano and Artistic Director of the International Piano Series at the College of Charleston) is joined by Yuriy Bekker (Artistic Director of the Charleston Symphony Orchestra), Micah Gangwer (violin), Seth Van Embden (viola), and Benjamin Mekinulov (cello) to tackle this lyrical and emotionally charged work.
