Distinguished by its virtuosity, probing musical insight, and impassioned, fiery performances, the Ariel Quartet has garnered critical praise worldwide for more than 25 years. Filled to the brim with contrast and expressivity, this program of Mendelssohn, Auerbach, and Britten traces three dramatically different composers’ responses to loss, be it personal or collective, explicit or implicit, and the resulting experience is a riveting and emotionally stirring Aristotelian Catharsis.
