Two of the greatest German masterpieces for piano and strings fill the perfect acoustics of the magical Grotto. Schumann and Brahms were the closest of friends, Schumann being a bit older and acting in a mentoring role for Brahms. Brahms would revere Schumann throughout his life, paying musical homage to him in many of his compositions. Schumann’s sunny and optimistic Quartet puts into relief Brahms’ brooding, probing and emotionally wrenching Quintet.
Venue description: An exhilarating jet boat ride down the Colorado River brings listeners to a pristine wilderness grotto carved from the surrounding red rocks for an inspiring “once-in-a-lifetime” experience (Fodors). These MMF signature events weave a rich sonic tapestry of music with one of the most stunning natural environments imaginable, combining the beauty of music with the area’s scenic wonders.
