Death and the Maiden, by Marianne Stokes

Musical promenades at the Museums - Death and the Maiden

The Quintarco string ensemble has programmed a concert that will surely delight lovers of the classical chamber music repertoire. Our Orchestra's distinguished musicians chose one of the most exciting string quartets of all time, in a Mahler's transcription for string quintets, for the evening's centrepiece, the work known as "Death and the maiden" after the Schubert lied whose melody forms the basis of its slow movement; Mahler's transcription of Death and the maiden will  be presented for the first time in Greece in this concert.
