Brahms began composing the "Piano Quartet No. 3 in C minor, Op. 60" in his 20s, but he did not complete it until 20 years later, in 1875. Its brooding quality reflects a difficult time in Brahms's life, when his friend and fellow composer Robert Schumann was suffering from mental illness. This piano quartet is sometimes called the Werther Quartet, after Goethe's novel The Sorrows of Young Werther.
Violist Amelia Hollander Ames has toured, taught, and collaborated internationally. She has appeared locally with the Boston Philharmonic, the Portland Symphony, the Radius Ensemble, the Rhode Island Philharmonic, and the American Repertory Theater. Violinist Julia Cash performs with the Boston Modern Orchestra Project, Boston Ballet, Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra, and Chamber Orchestra of Boston. She is on the faculties of the New England Conservatory Preparatory School, Boston Latin School, and the Boston Youth Symphony Orchestras. As a chamber musician, cellist Sam Ou has performed with the Borromeo String Quartet and at numerous summer venues, including Tanglewood and the Sarasota, Musicorda, Santa Fe, and La Jolla music festivals. He is on the faculties at New England Conservatory Preparatory School and the Powers Music School.
