About this concert

String quartet movements flowed from young Jean Sibelius like water from a mountain spring. The Finnish composer refined his quartet craft in the 1880s, extended his creative range in the following decade and completed the exquisite ‘Voces intimae’ in 1909 after moving to his country retreat by the shores of Lake Tuusula.

The Elias String Quartet and Jonathan Biss also welcome the first day of spring with Dvorák’s folk-inspired Piano Quintet in A major, a cornerstone work of Czech music.
