"Fragments: Connecting Past and Present"

Living composers engage with unfinished works by other composers: Bach/Sofia Gubaidulina; Haydn/John Harbison; Mozart/Vijay Iyer; Schubert/Bruce Adolphe; and Shostakovich/Stephen Hartke.

About This Performance
In a San Francisco Performances co-commissioned project, the Brentano String Quartet has invited six of today's most imaginative composers to engage with other composers' unfinished pieces to weave compelling new musical works. The new compositions will be played alongside the original ones to create an exciting evening of dialogue between music of the past and music of our present. Compelling composer pairings for the evening include Bach/Sofia Gubaidulina, Haydn/John Harbison, Mozart/Vijay Iyer, Schubert/Bruce Adolphe and Shostakovich/Stephen Hartke.
