A dedicated chamber musician in addition to his solo career, “Bronfman is a pianist with comprehensive skills who can seemingly play anything” (The New York Times). This exquisite concert sees Bronfman performing with the New York Philharmonic String Quartet, the orchestra’s principal string players. Their radiant program includes Schumann’s sparkling, exuberant Piano Quintet in E-flat Major, the first piano quintet of the Romantic era, which served as the inspiration for Brahms’ own quintet.

In a far suburb of Bombay, residents from slums are moved into high-rise apartment complexes with the promise of a better life. While these complexes are built to house the poor, they have also been seen as moves to free slum land in prime city areas for commercial development.
