Giora is one of New York’s finest violinists and pedagogues. He will be joined by our own incredible Sarah Ho for Robert Schumann’s splendid Pieces in Folk Style. Then, ancient folk-tunes continue in Alexander Glazunov’s sublime character pieces or Novelettes for String Quartet. After intermission Schmidt joins the GSQ for Johannes Brahms’ optimistic and ravishing quintet in F Major. This concert will include an intermission.
