Upon One Note: Schubert's Cello Quintet

Settle into music’s home base – the key of C – with “upon one note” and the critically-acclaimed Chameleon Arts Ensemble of Boston. Composed in the final weeks of his life, even as he struggled with terrible illness, Schubert’s C Major Cello Quintet ranks among music’s finest achievements, a work of profound beauty, fragility, and humanity. Haydn’s Piano Trio, Hob. XV:27 and Poulenc’s Sextet for piano and winds are graceful, glittering classics in music’s home key. Rounding out the program, Oliver Knussen invites us into his dream of C with his Fantasia after Purcell for clarinet, violin, cello, and piano.

Tickets are $47, $36 or $25 with $5 off for students and seniors. Performances take place on Saturday, April 6 at 8 PM, Sunday, April 7 at 4 PM at First Church in Boston. For more information or to order tickets, please call 617-427-8200 or visit http://www.chameleonarts.org.
