The String Quartet "The Death and the Maiden" is one of the pillars of the chamber music repertoire. Schubert, inspired by the poems of the German poet Matthias Claudius, transcribed this Lieder for a string quartet.

The Piano Quintet in A major op. 81 by the Czech composer Dvorak is a work of considerable artistic merit and is considered to be among the most beautiful for its lyricism and strong component of Bohemian folk. Dvorak composed this quintet in less than seven weeks.

The concert will take place Saturday 27 August at 20.30 in the beautiful Church of the Collegio Papio in Ascona, Switzerland.

The concert is sponsored by Elcotherm. The Festival is organised by the International Academy of Euphony.
