Musical Arts Series
Gabriel Fauré believed that chamber music was the only true form of music and the most authentic expression of a personality. Taking its namesake’s guiding principle to heart, the German-based Fauré Quartett is now widely regarded as one of today’s leading chamber ensembles. Appearing in concert halls worldwide, “they attract superlatives wherever they go!” writes the Strad following a concert at London’s Wigmore Hall. Appearing as the guest ensemble on Southeastern Oklahoma State University’s Musical Arts Series on Tuesday, April 17th, the Quartett performed the Piano Quartet No. 2 in g minor, Op 45 by Gabriel Fauré , the Piano Quartet in E-flat Major, Op 47 of Robert Schumann and a piece written for them in 2015 by Toshio Hosokawa, “The Water of Lethe.”
