Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, Mendelssohn Chamber Works for Strings and Piano (Site)
Tuesday February 25, 2025, 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
One of history’s greatest musical prodigies devoured knowledge, and his infectiously effervescent chamber music is imbued with his brilliance. Mendelssohn’s final string quartet, composed in response to the untimely death of his sister Fanny, and his touching Piano Trio No. 2 round out a profoundly stirring evening.
