Spa Little Theater

Travel across musical eras in a curated program of string-centered chamber music, from the wit and elegance of Mozart to the poetic intensity of Brahms and the evocative sounds of Respighi.

Catapulted to international fame in 1918 by Toscanini’s performances of Pines of Rome, Bologna-born Ottorino Respighi had already led a fascinating, multifaceted musical life. Fluent in eleven languages, he composed in multiple genres, revealing a fertile imagination and consummate skill. His passionate Piano Quintet is presented in the company of two well-known masterpieces by Mozart and Brahms: Mozart’s luminous D major Viola Quintet (a genre he invented) and Brahms’s magisterial second Piano Quartet.
