BRENTANO STRING QUARTET

November 8 | 7:30 P.M. | The Mansion

Experience an evening with the renowned Brentano String Quartet that promises to reconnect you with your origins and enrich your sense of home through the universal language of music.

Food and beverage will be available for purchase or included with a VIP ticket, and children under the age of five are welcome to attend the event for free.

Evocations of Home:

This concert offers a rich tapestry of cultural, intellectual, emotional, and geographical perspectives on the concept of home. Highlights include a new work by Lei Liang, dedicated to his mentor, the esteemed composer Chou Wen-chung, celebrating the spiritual home created through artistic inspiration and mentorship. The program also features a movement by Chou Wen-chung, rooted in the artistic traditions of Chinese calligraphy and poetry, and an earlier piece by Lei Liang influenced by Mongolian music. Additionally, movements by Dvořák, Schubert, Bartók, and Monteverdi will be performed, each evoking a deep sense of place, identity, and heritage.

This program also draws inspiration from Ayurveda, the ancient Indian medical system, which emphasizes the harmony between one’s native state (prakriti) and current state (vikriti). Just as health is found by realigning with our original constitution, self-knowledge and the hero’s journey are deeply connected to the idea of returning home and rediscovering our origins.

Together, these works explore our sense of ancestry, both literal and metaphorical, and how it shapes our understanding and emotional landscape.
