Hailed as “brilliant, virtuosic, and still mellow” (Los Angeles Times), the dynamos of the Brentano Quartet treat masterpieces with reverence and enthusiasm, rendering performances with equal passion and precision. In this concert, the Brentanos are joined by five-time Grammy Award–winning soprano Dawn Upshaw for their latest project: Dido Reimagined, a monodrama for quartet and voice composed by Pulitzer Prize–winning composer Melinda Wagner and librettist Stephanie Fleischmann in collaboration with Dawn. Sparked by the famous “Dido’s Lament” from Purcell’s opera Dido and Aeneas, the large-scale work is paired with Purcell’s aria and other selections from Baroque opera.
