CSO Chamber Music: South Loop Chamber

Treat yourself to a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of chamber music. Beethoven’s String Quintet in C Minor — one of his earliest Viennese successes — began as a bold and ambitious piano trio that he later reimagined for strings, transforming it into a work of even greater richness and dramatic power. Brahms’ String Quintet No. 2 reflects a lifetime of craftsmanship by combining rhythmic vibrancy, bittersweet lyricism and a spirited finale inspired by the Hungarian music he cherished throughout his life.

General admission seating available on the stage or in the terrace. Early arrival is recommended — doors open approximately 45 minutes before the concert.
