Sunday, October 12, 4 PM: Piano Quartet Featuring Michael McHale 

Experience two masterpieces of chamber music that balance passion, intimacy, and brilliance with the MSO’s Ensembles Series.

Internationally acclaimed Irish pianist Michael McHale joins the MSO musicians for an evening of chamber music at its most powerful.

Mozart’s Piano Quartet No. 1 in G Minor, K. 478, with its elegance and dramatic contrasts, redefined the genre and remains a touchstone of Classical brilliance. In contrast, Brahms’ Piano Quartet No. 3 in C Minor, Op. 60—the impassioned “Werther Quartet”—plunges deep into Romantic turbulence and emotional intensity.

Together, these works trace a vivid arc from refinement to raw expression, offering audiences an intimate encounter with two towering musical voices.
