Erinys Quartet; Roberto Díaz, viola; Peter Wiley, cello

Beethoven: Quartet in B-flat Major, Op. 18, No. 6
Clearfield: if each day falls inside each night* World Premiere/PCMS Commission
Brahms: String Sextet in G Major, Op. 36

*This piece was commissioned as part of the Chamber Music for All (CMFA) project, which seeks to broaden the audience for contemporary chamber music. Co-sponsored by PCMS and Diane and Lawrence Blum, CMFA engages composers to write works that are accessible to large audiences, with as consonant a harmonic language as they feel comfortable writing, and at a technical level that allows them to be played by capable amateur musicians as well as professionals. Diane and Larry hope that listeners who play instruments will want to acquire the scores while the ink is barely dry, and to get together and have fun playing some new music.
