May 13, 2012 7:30pm to 12:00am
Where
Artist: Peter Serkin, piano
Hear the Washington, DC, premiere of Bright Sheng’s Dance Capriccio for string quartet and piano, along with performances of Mozart’s String Quartet, K. 458 (“The Hunt”), and Dvorak’s Quintet for Piano and Strings, op. 81. Following the world premiere of Dance Capriccio in February, the Detroit Free Press called Sheng’s new work “loaded with inspired ideas and drama [that] command attention from beginning to end.”
Joining the Shanghai Quartet for its annual Freer Gallery appearance is Peter Serkin, a three-time Grammy nominee who recently has played with the New York Philharmonic, the Philadelphia Orchestra, and the Boston and Chicago Symphonies—all of which also have performed music by Bright Sheng.
