Quintet Conversations: From Mozart to Modern, with Jeremy Denk, Piano
Piano Clarinet Bass Violin Oboe Bassoon
Location: Thayer Hall - 4-26-2026 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm (America/Los_Angeles) (2 hours)

MacArthur Genius Grant-winning pianist Jeremy Denk joins Colburn faculty and students in this program of electric quintets. Opening the concert is Mozart’s Quintet for Piano and Winds, a work that masterfully balances the piano against oboe, clarinet, horn, and bassoon. Edward Elgar’s Piano Quintet starts on an eerie tone before modulating towards a brighter, more symphonic end. In between these masterworks is Valerie Coleman’s Tzigane, which was inspired by Ravel’s similarly named Hungarian rhapsody for violin.
