Mozart's groundbreaking composition, Piano Quartet No. 1 in G minor, and Schumann's remarkable Piano Quartet in E-flat major elegantly contrast with Frank Bridge's romantic and spirited Phantasy for Piano Quartet. Accomplished violinist Adele Ohki collaborates with eminent musician friends: violist Jacqui Cronin, cellist Paul Stender, and pianist Bradley Gilchrist.

Mozart’s Piano Quartet No. 1 in G minor showcases his mastery of chamber music, with its dramatic intensity and technical brilliance. Frank Bridge’s Phantasy Piano Quartet is a single-movement work with several contrasting sections of varying mood, textures, and tempo, imaginatively woven together. Schumann’s Piano Quartet in E-flat major, Op. 47 is one of the composer’s most beloved chamber works, celebrated for its warmth, emotional depth, and richly woven textures, by performers and audiences alike.

This program highlights the development of the piano quartet genre across diverse musical periods.
