- Brahms String Quintet No.2, Op 111 (mvt3)
Read more about the opportunities for playing participants (chamber workshop sessions and evening chamber music reading sessions); classes and outings for non-playing participants; and the delightful “dinner concert” series (before and after dinner — both appetizer and dessert!). Registration is open: download an application here.
