Duke Ellington – In a Sentimental Mood for string quartet
Raja Orr – Piano Quartet (world premiere)
Luigi Boccherini – "IV. Fandango" from Guitar Quintet in D major, G. 448
Johannes Brahms – Piano Quartet No. 1 in G minor, Op. 25

This program features two quartets for piano and strings, one old and one new. Our grand finale is the mighty quartet by Brahms, with its memorable gypsy-inflected finale. A modern take on the piano quartet by Bay Area composer, Raja Orr – a world premiere – was commissioned by two MITV patrons. Boccherini’s Guitar Quintet is just plain fun, including a Fandango complete with castanets.

The broadcast will take place August 26 at 10:30pm Eastern / 7:30pm Pacific. Streaming through September 9 at 11:59pm Pacific.
