All the Feelings: The Embodiment of Passion in the String QuartetJoin the Eybler Quartet for a lively investigation of their creative process, which draws not only upon the music of the 18th century but also uses the aesthetic, interpretive tools of the period. Using musical examples from Mozart’s “Dissonance” quartet to animate the discussion, the Eyblers will explore the emotional content of the music and its physical embodiment.

Wednesday, September 11, 2024, 4:00 p.m. Brunton Auditorium, Sackville NB
