Two tickets to Schubert Ensemble of London on December 16, 2009 at Caltech's Beckman Auditorium.

A Sunday afternoon delight for any fan of chamber music! The program:

• Butler, Sequenza Notturna


• Saint-Saens, Piano Quartet in B-flat Major, Op. 41


• Brahms, Piano Quartet No. 1 in G minor, Op. 25

William Howard, Ensemble Pianist: "The Saint-Saens is something of a curiosity and very seldom performed (here in the UK, at least!).  It is very virtuosic and great fun to play, but also a good contrast to the Brahms, which is one of the best known works on the piano and strings repertoire and one of the greatest.  The Martin Butler is one of our most engaging commissions -- nocturnal and atmospheric."
