Three close collaborators and ingenious musicians—Modney (violin), Kyle Armbrust (viola), and Michael Nicolas (cello)—come together to perform Musik für Drei Streicher (1977) (Music for Three Strings) by the prolific and renowned contemporary German composer Wolfgang Rihm, who passed away in July 2024. Celebrated for its emotional intensity and structural complexity, the work pushes the boundaries of traditional string music and demands exceptional technical prowess from its performers.

Sit onstage and enjoy a free drink during these hour-long weeknight Pop-Up Concerts, and mingle with the musicians and fellow concertgoers after the show.
