Nathan Meltzer, Gabrielle Després, Laura Liu, Leland Ko, Min Young Kang: Brahms, Granados, Bartók, Shaw
About This Event
Violinist Nathan Meltzer, Gabrielle Després, Laura Liu, Leland Ko and Min Young Kang perform repertoire by Brahms, Granados, Bartók and Caroline Shaw at Groupmuse NYC. The program juxtaposes Brahms’s late‑Romantic textures and Granados’s Catalan piano‑song lineage with Bartók’s folk‑inflected modernism and Pulitzer Prize–winning Caroline Shaw’s contemporary idiom; Kang’s experience on New York’s living‑room concert circuit situates the music in an intimate chamber context.
