By Aaron KeebaughThe performance of the Jerusalem Quartet was marked by considerable poise, polish, and personality. The concluding moments of Dmitri Shostakovich’s String Quartet No. 12 are unmistakable. Following nearly half an hour of wayward dissonance and sardonic lyricism, the music cries out with sudden optimism. But it’s an unsettled culmination — satisfying yet darkly insistent.

By Aaron KeebaughIt’s a rare treat to hear these three Francis Poulenc sonatas on a single program.

By Aaron KeebaughThe Boston Chamber Music Society’s greatest strengths lay in its skill in letting the music breathe. He had been raised to break the rules. And that always suited him. But even Charles Ives realized that his radical experiments with musical quotation, bitonality, and jumbled collages of cross rhythms might never see the light of day. Working as an insurance salesman by day and a composer by night, Ives toiled away for little reward other than the sheer joy of doing so.

By Aaron KeebaughIt is only a month into the current season, and the Boston Symphony Orchestra has offered three pieces that have either been heard for the first time in Symphony Hall or given that more rare honor that evades most premieres — the deuxième performance. The honor of redux recently fell to Michael Gandolfi’s Ascending Light, a bold and life-affirming memorial to victims of the Armenian genocide that had first been performed in Boston in 2015.

By Aaron KeebaughThe opera’s libretto moves back and forth fluently between Fannie Lou Hamer’s childhood years to her later struggles serving the cause of racial justice. On June 1, 1865, in front of a large crowd gathered at New York’s Cooper Union, Frederick Douglass gave a eulogy for Abraham Lincoln. The president had been assassinated six weeks earlier because he had, for the first time, spoken in favor of voting rights for newly freed blacks.
