About
Pulitzer Prize and three-time GRAMMY®-winning composer Jennifer Higdon is one of America’s most acclaimed and frequently performed composers. Her 2022 Book of Brass comprises four “chapters,” spanning moods from meditative to funky and celebrating the flexibility and virtuosity of brass instruments. Richard Strauss composed his Piano Quartet at age 20. The work combines the drama and rich harmonies of Strauss’ hero, Brahms, with the high energy of a young Strauss at the beginning of his career.
