Italian Romantics
Ensō String quartet;

Friday, October 30, 8 pm
Cullen Theater, Wortham Theater Center
He's been called "great, high-energy classical guitarist" by The New York Times. The Houston Chronicle has praised the Enso String Quartet: "a warm ensemble sound, distinctive solo voices. . .and an easy-going communication that certainly won me over." Now, guitar virtuoso Eliot Fisk teams up with the Ensō String Quartet for an Italian sojourn. Among other musical delights is rarely heard string music by two legendary opera composers. Best known for his operas La Bohème and Madame Butterfly, Puccini's Chrysanthemums is an elegy for a prince who was briefly the King of Spain. Verdi's String Quartet in E Minor is a charming, lyrical quartet by the composer of operas including Rigoletto and La Traviata. The concert also features works by Paganini (a sonata for guitar and violin and Fisk's transcriptions of works written for solo violin) and Boccherini (Quintet for Guitar and Strings in D Major). Pre-concert conversation with Eliot Fisk and Artistic Director Sarah Rothenberg at 7 PM in the Cullen Theater. Tickets start at $25 before half-price discount.
