Masterworks for Piano and Strings

Ramsey Concert Hall in the UGA Performing Arts Center

The two works being performed are the A Major Piano Quartet by Johannes Brahms and the C Minor Piano Quintet by Ralph Vaughan Williams. The evening features four of the UGA string faculty: Michael Heald, violin; Maggie Snyder, viola; Milton Masciadri, double bass; and James Kim, cello. The pianist for the evening will be guest artist Timothy Lovelace, professor of collaborative piano at the University of Minnesota. While the Brahms may be rather more well-known to audiences, the Vaughan Williams is a masterful work full of tonal richness and romantic sweep, employing the same forces as Schubert’s famous “Trout” Quintet.
