The Festival is thrilled to present the return of Stephen Prutsman and the Telegraph Quartet in piano quintets of contrasting brilliance. Beginning with Robert Schumann's beloved Quintet Op.44, the set will change during intermission from concert hall to movie theater for a screening with live accompaniment. As the saying goes, the Silents were never silent, and Stephen Prutsman's dazzling score to Buster Keaton's 1924 classic Sherlock Jr. matches the genius of the film at every step. Join us for an eclectic and joyful evening of chamber music at its best performed by some of the Bay Area's brightest musical stars.
