The Signum Quartet’s performance of Schubert’s “Death and the Maiden” has been called “as boldly imagined as a symphony” (The Times, London). In a concert rescheduled from the 2020–2021 season, the exciting German ensemble plays Schubert’s emotional masterpiece, a robust Haydn quartet, the ravishing and rarely heard Quartet for Strings by South African–British composer Priaulx Rainier (“a revelation,” according to The Independent), and a striking contemplation on mortality by South African composer Matthijs van Dijk.
