Saturday April 4th at noon at the Berkeley Piano Club, Town Quartet performs music by Fanny Hensel, sharing a program with pianist, Monica Chew, and publisher/musicologist, Molly McCann, AKA Hensel Pushers.

Do you like Mendelssohn’s music? His sister was equally gifted, but composed in a much more private capacity, constrained by the social conditions of her time.

The heart of the program is her String Quartet, and the piece from which it is derived, her unfinished Piano Sonata. Rounding out the afternoon are 4 pieces arranged for string quartet, and a fascinating lecture component.

We’d love to see you there!

So excited for this concert with The Town Quartet Collective on Friday January 31st at 7:30PM for @glenviewclassicalseries at @saintpauloakland 1658 Excelsior Ave. Oakland. The heart of the program is Mendelssohn's Quartet in E Minor, Op. 44 No. 2. While Mendelssohn was indeed a child prodigy, this piece is from later in his life, at the height of his powers. The rest of the program is smaller pieces. Piazzolla's Inveirno Porteno and Four, for Tango, Puccini's Cristantemi, and a new piece by Lewis Patzner (co-founder of Glenview Classical Series.) Also, be prepared for surprises! Sarah Biagini @meesosoop and Michele Walther @michelewalther9, violins, Jacob Hansen-Joseph @jacobhansenjoseph, viola, and Lewis Patzner @lewispatzner, Cello. #stringquartet #classicalmusic #oakland #oaklandmusic #bayarea #bayareamusic
