Formed in Budapest in 1975, this peerless ensemble returns to Philadelphia to perform a new work by Brazilian-American composer Clarice Assad, as well as Haydn’s charming Rider Quartet and Beethoven’s profound and groundbreaking Quartet in C-sharp Minor, Op. 131—which he considered his favorite achievement in the genre.

This conversation will be moderated by Larry Platt. Larry Magid’s 60+ year career in music and entertainment began in 1962. He opened the legendary club Electric Factory, where Hendrix, Joplin, Led Zeppelin, Frank Zappa, Cream, Elton John, and the Who all played. In 1985, Magid co-produced Live Aid, the world's largest music event. He continues to produce tours today and is a two-time Tony Award winner (Billy Crystal: 700 Sundays and Beautiful: The Carole King Musical). The Philadelphia Music Book encapsulates the sounds of a city with over 300 biographies and stories about artists from the area who have gained national and international recognition, covering every major genre over the past two centuries.

PCMS is honored to bring together Mark Steinberg—leader of the revered Brentano Quartet, which makes annual appearances on our series—and pianist Jonathan Biss, who has consistently left PCMS audiences spellbound with his probing, incisive, deeply considered performances.

The Seasons
You could say Vivaldi had a kind of synesthesia when writing The Four Seasons . What does being cold feel and sound like? MacArthur Award-winning playwright and librettist Sarah Ruhl joins Anthony Roth Costanzo to co-conceive a tapestry of Vivaldi’s music, telling an original story about a world in which the seasons are completely out of order. Tony Award-winning set designer Mimi Lien collaborates with M.I.T. materials technologist Jack Forman to fuse art and science, bringing atmospheric events to the stage. Celebrated choreographer Pam Tanowitz creates a maelstrom of dance, director Zack Winokur helms the production, and Corrado Rovaris conducts the rapturous piece, which stars Costanzo. All tickets are Pick Your Price , starting at $11. Any amount above $11 helps support other operagoers and the work Opera Philadelphia presents on stage.
