Journey through the changing light of a single day in a program that moves from sunrise to moonlit night.
The Maple Quartet, the Music Academy’s 2026 Emerging Artists String Quartet, joins sisters and Music Academy alums Julie Albers and Rebecca Albers for a luminous evening shaped by nature, time, and transformation. Following a successful summer 2026 residency under the guidance of The Takács Quartet, the Maple Quartet brings together four rising artists celebrated for their artistry, dedication, and shared vision of chamber music as a deeply collaborative art form.
One of Haydn’s radiant “Sun” quartets, Op. 20, No. 6, opens the program with warmth and brilliance. A world premiere by Maple Quartet’s John Crowley draws listeners into the shifting phases of the moon. The Albers sisters will join the Quartet for Schoenberg’s Verklärte Nacht — a lush, romantic masterpiece glowing with longing, intimacy, and breathtaking beauty.
