Explore the great German Romantics in this lush program featuring works by Schubert and Schumann. Schumann’s imaginative
Märchenbilder or Fairy Tale Pictures will enchant you and draw your mind to other worlds with its musical stories. Following this is the haunting Schubert Notturno in E-Flat, written for piano trio in the autumn of 1827. It is a sublime work of the chamber music repertoire, and is juxtaposed in this program with Schumann's only piano quartet with its equally lyrical third movement.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
The Marinus Ensemble is a chamber music collective that draws on the best emerging international performers to celebrate the human power of our great chamber music repertoire. At the heart of Marinus is a commitment to enliven the audience experience through a distinctive concert approach, giving performances that are both searching and authentic. Our musicians have great training (Curtis, Juilliard, New England Conservatory) and are based out of outstanding organizations (the Metropolitan Opera, National Symphony, Pittsburgh Symphony, A Far Cry, Konservatorium Bern, the Vega String Quartet). Most importantly, they have a shared vision of making great music come alive for diverse audiences.

Marinus invites artists to team up on creative musical projects around a range of repertoire. Each project leads to a group of concerts that form our performance seasons. Through the juxtaposition of styles, composers, and instruments, each Marinus concert program tries to reinforce the idea that all great music has the power to challenge, inform, and enrich our lives. Beyond the concert hall, Marinus is also committed to educating all of our listeners—creating space for learning through interactive concerts, accessible program notes, and teaching residencies at schools and universities. This is a key piece of another Marinus goal: to deepen and expanded the chamber music audience who will nurture and support this great musical tradition we all love so much.
