Consisting entirely of UMD School of Music string faculty, Left Bank Quartet returns to the stage with masterworks of both the First and Second Viennese Schools. This program opens with Alban Berg's String Quartet, Op. 3, a tempestuous work that was born from the frustration Berg and his wife, Helene, felt when her father initially forbade the two lovers from seeing each other. The performance concludes with Franz Schubert's final string Quartet in G Major, a work that perfectly captures Schubert's own words: "Whenever I attempted to sing of love, it turned to pain. And again, when I tried to sing of pain, it turned to love."
