The Fairmount String Quartet presents “Chiaroscuro,” a string quartet program centered on the aesthetic principle of contrast as a driving force in musical expression. Through works that juxtapose light and shadow, density and transparency, the concert examines how composers use timbre, harmony, and form to create depth and dramatic clarity. The program invites listeners to engage analytically with the ways contrast shapes structure, meaning, and emotional resonance in the string quartet repertoire.
