Counted among leading string quartets of the younger generation worldwide, Goldmund Quartet was recently named “Rising Stars” (2019-2020) by the European Concert Hall Organisation. The players debut with one of Schubert’s earliest works, unusually homotonal and popular with home musicians.  A notable highlight of Weinberg’s masterful #5 is its highly appealing and contrasting movements. Then pianist Gloria Chien (making her CMH debut) tackles Amy Beach’s landmark quintet which calls the piano to emerge victorious within the intensity of the strings.
