Dvořák and Coleridge-Taylor

The Quintets of Antonín Dvořák and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor stand as evidence that adding an additional voice to the string quartet ensemble can lead to works of musical inspiration. Praised as “one of the great chamber players of her generation,” (Theater Jones), pianist Joyce Yang takes to the keys to join OSL musicians in Dvořák’s exuberant Piano Quintet. OSL Ensemble Member and “absolutely first-rate clarinet soloist” (New York Times) Jon Manasse joins his fellow OSL musicians in Coleridge-Taylor’s Quintet for Clarinet and Strings, a piece that exemplifies the height of romantic expression and highlights the artistic depth of the clarinet.
