The Menil Collection 1515 Sul Ross Houston TX 77006 Google Maps | Hotels Near | Yahoo! Maps | Weather Forecast Details for "Modern Romantics"George Rochberg’s monumental String Quartet No. 3 represented a seminal break in 20th-century music. Radically marking a return to tonality, the quartet’s overt romanticism provoked discussion and controversy at its premiere in 1973. Rochberg set the stage for composers of succeeding generations to carry on the Romantic spirit. Harbison’s November 19, 1828 is a poignant memorial to Franz Schubert. The Shepherd School’s Jalbert, winner of the prestigious Stoeger Award for achievements in chamber music, is represented with the Houston premiere of a major new work.
