NEPACMS proudly presents its season finale with two extraordinary chamber masterpieces: Fauré’s Second Piano Quartet and Brahms’ First Piano Quartet.

Fauré’s quartet, in contrast, exudes a refined passion, weaving subtle expressivity into what Aaron Copland described as “intensity on a background of calm.” Don’t miss this unforgettable evening of musical brilliance!
