About this concert
“Turn of the century” shouldn’t matter – after all, it’s just one year rolling over into another, happens every 365 days – but it is freighted with meaning. The meaning is malleable, depending on who’s doing the freighting, which is why doomsdayers and futurists and garden-variety optimists all approach the occasion differently. Composers, too, which should make for an interesting compare and contrast at Austin Chamber Music’s Fin de siècle program, featuring Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 6 in B-flat Major, Op. 18, No. 6 (written in 1800), Kevin Puts’ Dark Vigil (1999), and Anton Arensky’s Piano Quintet (1900), performed by Ohio’s Carpe Diem String Quartet and Austin pianist Michelle Schumann. – Kimberley Jones

Carpe Diem String Quartet Biography
One of the most unique and sought-after chamber ensembles on the concert stage today, the Carpe Diem String Quartet is a boundary-breaking ensemble that has earned widespread critical acclaim. Carpe Diem defies easy classification with programming that includes classical, Gypsy, tango, folk, pop, rock, and jazz-inspired music.
The quartet appears on traditional concert series (Carnegie Hall, New York, NY; Jordan Hall, Boston, MA; National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC; Chautauqua Institute, Chautauqua, NY; Asolo Theater, Sarasota, FL, Accademia Chigiana, Siena, Italy, Suntory Hall, Tokyo, Japan) as well as unconventional venues (Poisson Rouge, NYC; Bach Dancing and Dynamite Society, Half-Moon Bay, CA; The Redlands Bowl, Redlands, CA; The Mug & Brush, Columbus, OH). Carpe Diem has been awarded five transformative grants from the PNC Foundation for their community outreach in Central Ohio.
