Concert Hall

The musical idioms of Mendelssohn and Shostakovich could not be more different. And yet both of the superb quartets tackled by the Aenaon quartet in this concert are redolent with emotions which draw on harrowing experiences from the composers’ lives: for Mendelssohn, the untimely death of his beloved sister; for Shostakovich, the deep feelings he nurtured for his student Galina Ustvolskaya.
