This final concert features the most requested work throughout the history of chamber music at An Appalachian Summer Festival: Brahms’ Piano Quintet. In keeping with Reflections Series International's goal of illuminating familiar works through context, the program compares and contrasts the sounds and colors of two disparate combinations (a string duo and a piano trio), all adding up to the grand finale quintet by Brahms.

An Appalachian Summer's second Schubertiade recreates the informal gatherings so popular in 19th century Europe. In our version, the artists gather together on stage to trade instrumental versions of some of Franz Schubert's most beloved music, culminating in the monumental String Quintet. Also featured will be a poignant work in Schubert's memory by American composer John Harbison.
