Music has always carried us somewhere — across landscapes, through memory, into the heart. Clara Schumann’s Three Romances open the evening with intimacy and poetic warmth. Kevin Lau’s String Quartet No. 5, “The Train to Improbable Places”, invites us on a vivid contemporary journey fueled by imagination. Mendelssohn’s radiant Op. 44 Quartet sings with lyrical brilliance, and Dvořák’s beloved Piano Quintet brings the evening home with folk-inspired vitality and sweeping Romantic joy. An evening of movement, storytelling, and music that transports.
