It has to end with Brahms! Celebrate Context’s final concert season with beloved masterpieces by one of our most cherished master composers! Brahms’ late Trio in C Minor starts the show; and the grand finale will be the immortal—and thrilling—Quintet for Piano and Strings, all on the kind of instruments Brahms’ first audiences would have heard.
