Frost Chopin Academy & Festival: Apollon Musagète Quartet – “Death and the Maiden”

The Frost Chopin Academy & Festival presents the Apollon Musagète Quartet, a European chamber ensemble known for its performances of classical and contemporary string quartet repertoire.

The concert will open with performances by selected participants of the Academy, who will perform works by Frédéric Chopin. Following the student performances, the Apollon Musagète Quartet will present a program featuring Johann Sebastian Bach’s “Contrapunctus I” from “The Art of the Fugue” and Franz Schubert’s “String Quartet No. 14 in D Minor, D. 810,” commonly known as “Death and the Maiden.”

“Contrapunctus I” is one of the opening movements from Bach’s “The Art of the Fugue,” a collection that explores contrapuntal composition and fugue technique. Composed in 1824, Schubert’s “Death and the Maiden” is among the composer’s most frequently performed chamber works and takes its nickname from the second movement’s use of a theme from his earlier song of the same name.

The Apollon Musagète Quartet’s residency at the Frost Chopin Academy & Festival is presented in partnership with Friends of Chamber Music of Miami.
