NEPACMS Presents: Vibrant Sonorities
Saturday, May 11, 2024 (7:00 PM - 9:00 PM) (EDT)
Description
A grossly underrated composer, Josef Labor was a respected organist, pianist, teacher, and composer, who was colleagues with Johannes Brahms, Richard Strauss, Anton Bruckner, Clara Schumann, and Gustav Mahler. His piano quintet for piano, violin, viola, cello, and double bass highlights each instrument with sonorous melodies and masterfully integrates expansive harmonies. In this season-ending concert, NEPACMS is thrilled to also present a world premiere of a piano quintet of the same instrumentation by pianist and composer Hwaen Ch’uqi. Known for his expressive and accessible works, NEPACMS is honored and excited to bring this new work into the world.
