Brahms' Piano Quintet opens our 18th season on 10/5/25 at 3:00 pm. The program begins with a Schubert Impromptu by pianist David Kaplan, who has appeared with us many times. My favorite memory of David is when he and William Frampton visited the WRTI studio for a live interview broadcast in 2019. They were cool and composed despite the pressure of performing for a live audience of about 30,000. See the broadcast here.

Second on the program is Haydn's String Quartet in E Flat Major, Op.33, No. 2, "The Joke." Quartet members are Giora Schmidt and Doori Na, violinists, violist William Frampton, and cellist Jia Kim.

Following intermission, we will hear Brahms' Piano Quintet in F Minor, "often called the crown of his chamber music." ^[1]

And to top it off, the Board will provide an ice cream reception with homemade ice cream from Alaura's Kitchen in Pitman. Please join us. 

Musically, 

Martha Frampton, Executive Director
