Borromeo String Quartet

Boston’s beloved Borromeo String Quartet pays a visit to the Gardner with a program built around Schubert’s monumental “Death and the Maiden” quartet, one of his supreme late masterpieces and a paragon of the Romantic spirit. The Borromeos also bring a quartet by jazz pianist and composer Vijay Iyer, who is Harvard’s Franklin D. and Florence Rosenblatt Professor of the Arts and a MacArthur Fellow. Nicholas Kitchen has arranged a pair of preludes and fugues from Bach and Shostakovich. The Entr’acte of Museum-favorite Caroline Shaw rounds out the program.
