Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center: The Kreutzer Connection; Juho Pohjonen, Piano (Site)

Sunday October 28, 2018, 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm

$40 – $80

A thread of intrigue connects the dramatic works on this fascinating program. A shocking Tolstoy novella is vividly captured in Janáček’s quartet, and the cause of the story’s mayhem—Beethoven’s “Kreutzer” Sonata—concludes the evening. Kreutzer’s beguiling Caprice, and highly-charged works by Beethoven and Prokofiev, complete this concert’s thrilling, theatrical profile.
