Faculty Artist Series // Beethoven cast a long imposing shadow on Johannes Brahms, who waited until he was 40 to publish his first string quartet proclaiming that, “You can’t have any idea what it is like always to hear such a giant marching behind you!” It is no wonder that Brahms’ first quartet Op. 51 No. 1, when it finally came, was such a masterpiece — dark, ambitious, rhythmically complex, and in the tragic C minor key of Beethoven’s great Fifth Symphony.

The Reynolda Quartet, acclaimed faculty-artists in the School of Music at UNCSA, will perform "In The Footsteps of a Giant," a program of quartets by Béla Bartók and Johannes Brahms, at the Reynolda House Museum of American Art, at 3 p.m. Sunday, March 27.

Faculty Artist Series // The North Carolina Symphony's principal cellist Bonnie Thron will join the Reynolda Quartet for a rousing performance of Schubert's C major String Quartet.

The Reynolda Quartet will present a livestreamed concert at 3 p.m. March 14. The quartet, composed of violinists Ida Bieler and Janet Orenstein, violist Ulrich Eichenauer and cellist Brooks Whitehouse, all of whom serve as faculty at UNCSA, will perform “Concert of Gratitude,” the second concert in collaboration with Reynolda House.
