An inspiring performance by the Ehnes Quartet on September 8 more than set the tone for a magnificent 2014-2015 season for Chamber Soloists of Detroit.
“I won’t break the spell!” exclaimed artistic director, Pauline Martin, announcing her decision to abandon plans for CSD’s customary Just Between Us artist talk-back. Upon delivering a rousing encore by Maurice Ravel with breathless aplomb, the Ehnes Quartet had just acknowledged its third standing ovation of the evening from the capacity crowd.
The quartet’s program featured Quartets, Op. 18, No. 1 and Op. 132 by Beethoven and Sibelius’ Voces Intimae Quartet, Op. 5.
Will they return to CSD’s stage again soon? We certainly hope so!
