In the summer of 1828, just two months before his early death at the age of 31, Franz Schubert created his final instrumental work. This mammoth piece of writing holds the distinction of being the only full-fledged string quintet in Schubert's vast oeuvre. Unfortunately, Schubert was never able to hear the work played, and it would take another 22 years until its first public performances. Tune in for a performance of Schubert's String Quintet in C Major, D. 956 by the Savannah Music Festival's Associate Artistic Director Daniel Hope playing the 2nd violin part, Lorenza Borrani on 1st violin, CarlaMaria Rodrigues on viola, Eric Kim playing the 1st cello part, and Keith Robinson on the 2nd cello.
