How about enjoying a romantic weekend with friends before Christmas? Christmas celebration has become part of our lives. Would you like to enjoy a meal, go to the movies, or attend a concert with your freinds? Mendelssohn, iconic figure of the 18-century German Romanticism, wrote this piece at the age of 18. The use of counterpoint and how the movements form a cycle reveal Beethoven’s influence on the then young composer. His song “Frage” is quoted in this piece, and “in all four movements you will hear its emotions expressed”, Mendelssohn described. After the passionate piece, imagine the scene shift to a coffee house with relaxed atmosphere. Gold Medal winner from the Global Music Awards, Chi-Chen WU, and the 3+1 String Quartet will present Paul Schoenfield’s Cafe Music and Reynaldo Hahn’s Quintets for piano and string. A diverse program that will make your Christmas unforgettable.
