Joseph Haydn String Quartet in G minor, Op. 74, No.3, “The Rider” 

Franz Schubert String Quartet No.14 in D minor, “Death and the Maiden” 

Shelley Washington MIDDLEGROUND 

From the first restless chords to the last resonant note, this program burns with intensity! Haydn’s Rider races with relentless momentum; Schubert’s towering Death and the Maiden is a searing confrontation with fate that balances anguish, tenderness, and unyielding defiance; and Shelley Washington’s MIDDLEGROUND bursts to life with propulsive rhythm and bold energy. Together, these works create a night of drama, urgency, and fire that will leave you breathless.
