The piano quartet is a medium that adds more richness than a standard piano trio, yet adds more sonic variety than a string quartet. The Civitas Ensemble, joined by violist Weijing Wang Michal, presents a colorful piano quartet program. Mahler’s unfinished Piano Quartet in A minor offers a glance into the composer's mindset, hinting at many of his large-scale works to come. This is followed by one of Mozart’s most popular chamber works, the Piano Quartet No. 1. Rounding out the program is Strauss’s impetuous yet rich Piano Quartet in C Minor.

Mahler Piano Quartet in A minor Nicht zu schnell
