There’s pain and hope buried deep in it, and it comes to the surface when Stauffer sings.” ~Chris Azzopardi, PrideSource “I was enchanted with the sound of the music as well as Abigail’s voice. The sounds swam in a ball of energy and happiness. Even if the subject matter is tough, the music speaks of hope.” ~Chuck Marshall, Life In Michigan “Haughey is an astonishingly innovative and sure-footed performer. He and Stauffer have written songs and traveled the world together, and the fruits of their collaboration are beautiful to behold.” ~Patrick Dunn, Ann Arbor Observer Join us for an evening with the Casa Piano Quartet showcasing the deep musical bond between Antonin Dvořák and Johannes Brahms. This recital features Dvořák’s Piano Quartet in E-flat Major, Op. 87, which beautifully incorporates Bohemian folk themes, followed by Brahms’s Piano Quartet in G Minor, Op. 25, known for its fiery Hungarian dance elements. Both quartets possess an almost symphonic quality, ending with lively fourth movements that celebrate their cultural roots. Experience the vibrant melodies and rhythmic joy that highlight the profound friendship between these two iconic composers.
