Brahms’ Second Sextet 

About

The effects of war are
profound and far-reaching. Such is the case with Erwin Schulhoff and André Caplet,
whose lives changed drastically and were shortened by World Wars I and II. This
concert pays tribute to their earlier work paired alongside an early work of
Johannes Brahms — his titular Sextet No. 2 written at a time in his life marked
by the sudden loss of his mother and a broken engagement to the singer Agathe
von Siebold.
