Young Artists Foundation (YAF) is proud to host its upcoming 2025 Spring Student Chamber Music showcase concert at Santa Clara University, Music Recital Hall on Saturday April 19, 2025 3:30pm! Join us for inspirational performances, learn deep insights, and become a part of the YAF community as we explore historically significant classical works of Mozart and Schubert. 1. W.A. Mozart - String Quartet no 1 in G Minor, K80I. AdagioII. AllegroIII. MinuettoIV. RondoHaeun Shim, Violin | Yoorhi Choi, Violin | Serene Vo, Viola | Karis Yang, Cello String Quartet no 1,&nbsp;K80, was written when Mozart was just 14 while on his first trip to Italy with his father. By this age, Mozart had already been a well-known rising prodigy throughout Europe as a violinist, pianist, and composer, and sought training and support in musical hub and center that was Italy. It was there Mozart first gained exposure to the string quartet format, and wrote the initial version of his first quartet as the less-formal and shorter Divertimento. After a few years, Mozart, likely influenced by the string quartet repertoire of Haydn, composed six more string quartets, before returning to the original Divertimento to add the Minuet and Trio movement, transforming it into the String Quartet no 1 as we know it today. 2. Franz Schubert - Piano Trio no 2 in E Flat Major, D.929I. AllegroII. Andante con motoIII. Scherzo: Allegro ModeratoIV. Allegro moderatoSamuel Teo, Violin | Hyunseo Yoo, Cello | Annie Vo, Piano Schubert&rsquo;s Piano Trio No. 2 in E-flat major, D. 929, composed in November 1827, stands among his final major works and carries significant historical connections beyond the composer himself. The second movement is commonly attributed to having been inspired by a Swedish folk song, &quot;Se solen sjunker,&quot; though its resemblance remains debated. An urban legend? Probably. Written in a funeral-like march, it actualy bears more similarities to its analogous slow movement Marche Funebre of Beethoven&#39;s Symphony no 3, leading to speculation that Schubert, a great admirer of Beethoven, may have intended it as a tribute. Schubert composed the trio just months after Beethoven&rsquo;s death in March 1827, and later requested to be buried next to him in Vienna. Months before Schubert&#39;s own death, the trio was performed at Schubert&rsquo;s only public concert on March 26, 1828, marking one of the rare occasions when his music received public recognition during his lifetime. The trio, particularly its slow movement, has since frequently been used in cinema, in works such as Stanley Kubrick&#39;s film Barry Lyndon (1975). YAF is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit whose mission is to cultivate the next generation of rising classical musicians. Through performance-oriented training and mentorship with accomplished teaching artists, YAF seeks to add a cultural landscape of musical excellence in the San Francisco Bay Area.
