Chamber Concert IX spans a period from the Romantic era to the early 20th century. With works by Robert Schumann, Karol Szymanowski, and Erich Wolfgang Korngold, this program brings together three composers who create poetic soundscapes and musical imagery in very different ways. Schumann’s wistful string quartet meets Szymanowski’s dazzling “Myths” and Korngold’s opulent piano quintet.
