The Confringo Piano Quartet, winners of the Hans Gál Prize and fellows of the 2024 German Music Competition, presents a fascinating dialogue between the familiar and the rediscovered. This compelling program pairs Johannes Brahms’s Third Piano Quartet, a cornerstone of the repertoire, with a rarely heard work by Hans Gál — a composer whose life was deeply shaped by National Socialism and exile. Gál’s composition from the 1920s reflects the openness and vitality of its era, its vivid colors and expressive power unjustly neglected in concert halls today. Together, these works illuminate a powerful conversation between Late Romantic tradition and twentieth-century rediscovery, offering listeners a deeply engaging musical experience.
