Ariel Quartet Performs Schumann, Bartók, Cage and Brahms April 26

The

Ariel Quartet

gives the final performance in its 2017-18 Concert Series at UC's College-Conservatory of Music at

8 p.m.

on

Thursday, April 26, 2018

in Corbett Auditorium. The performance includes string quartets by Robert Schumann, Béla Bartók and Johannes Brahms, along with John Cage’s

Five

, which features CCM emeritus faculty member

Allen Otte

, percussion.

Celebrating CCM’s 150th Anniversary season, the Ariel Quartet programed

Five

as a nod to John Cage’s time as CCM composer-in-residence from 1966-1967. The Quartet will be joined by Otte, who worked with and performed pieces by Cage with

Percussion Group Cincinnati

.

Composed in 1988,

Five

is one of Cage’s early so-called “number” pieces — fittingly scored for five instruments. The avant-garde composer “profoundly influenced 20th-centruy music,” says the

Cincinnati Enquirer in a story about Cage’s time at CCM

.
