Sharon Kam • Schumann Quartett – Musikverein Wien, Vienna

About this event

This chamber music production is presented by the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Wien as part of their esteemed Kammermusik-Zyklus (Chamber Music Cycle). Staged in the acoustically renowned Brahms-Saal of the Wiener Musikverein, the concert brings together internationally acclaimed clarinetist Sharon Kam and the Schumann Quartett. The programming deliberately contrasts late Romantic and Classical masterpieces, utilizing the intimate setting of the Brahms-Saal to highlight the intricate interplay between the solo wind instrument and the string ensemble. The artistic concept centers on the evolution of the clarinet quintet repertoire, anchoring the performance with two of the most significant works in the genre by Brahms and Mozart. By opening with a string-only serenade by Hugo Wolf, the production establishes the core sound of the Schumann Quartett before expanding the sonic palette with the addition of Kam's clarinet for the remainder of the evening.
