The sudden death of Fanny Mendelssohn, Felix’s beloved sister, was a blow from which he never recovered. Before his own demise six months later, Mendelssohn’s wild sorrow found voice in his final string quartet, a testament to love and loss that, strangely enough, consoles us all. In almost total contrast to Mendelssohn’s despair, Dvorak’s quintet is a magical universe full of joy and life. Limestone and Felt, Caroline Shaw’s enigmatic duo for viola and cello, opens the program with hard and soft acoustics, each presenting a way to process our pasts and step bravely into the future.
