Ensemble Jackalope
Concert

Ensemble Jackalope

Time: Saturday, July 25, 2026 7:30 pm - 9:15 pm / Paxton House
Ensemble Jackalope brings an invigorating brilliance to the Piano Quartet repertoire. Frank Bridge’s 1910 quartet packs immense energy into a rich, concise framework that stylistically owes much to German and French influences, while Fauré’s expansive and ardent work has an emotional direction that some commentators have attributed to the rise and subsequent demise of his first romance. Schumann’s Quartet was enthusiastically welcomed on its première in 1844 as “a piece full of spirit and vitality … with soaring flights of imagination”.
