The second half of the program, Quintet for Clarinet and Strings by Brahms, was chosen to pair up two composers who were quite opposed to each other, compositionally. Wagner was more of a progressive composer of the 19th century and part of what was known as the New German School of composers, while Brahms was from more of the conservative school of composers. Quintet for Clarinet and Strings, is performed by Joseph Eller, clarinet; William Terwilliger, violin; Rebecca Hunter, violin; Constance Gee, viola; and Robert Jesselson, violoncello.
