Opus 76 Quartet | Sunday, March 12 at 2 p.m. | Polsky Theatre | “Kansas City’s Premier String Quartet” (KC Independent) and the Kansas City Ballet Music Director reunite to perform works by Robert Schumann and Pyotr Tchaikovsky.
Program
String Quartet No. 1 in D major, Op. 11 by Pyotr Tchaikovsky (1840-1893)
Piano Quintet in E-flat major, Op. 44 by Robert Schumann (1810-1856)
The Quartet last joined forces with Pansegrau for the Kansas City Ballet’s 2021 production of “Wunderland,” when Opus 76 appeared as guest artists performing works by Philip Glass. In a review, Bachtrack observed the musical performances were “complements to the movements, athletic, sinuous, centripetal and centrifugal, both tense and harmonious. It was a powerful, postmodern mix.”
Pansegrau is an accomplished pianist, music director and conductor. Before joining the Kansas City Ballet, she held the positions of principal pianist, solo pianist, music director and conductor at the Boston and Tulsa ballet companies. She was on the faculty at Aspen/Snowmass Dance Festival, taught at the Boston Conservatory and served on the faculty and as music director of seven International Ballet Competitions.
Tickets start at $25.
