“Second Chances”
Keron Jackson (Dallas Opera) highlights this concert featuring masterworks that were nearly lost to history.
Schubert’s unfinished 15th string quartet consists of one masterful movement, but was discovered by Brahms decades later. Brahms’ own piano quintet, which began life as a string quintet and later a 2 piano work, was nearly destroyed by the composer himself, like so many of his other works, before finding its final version presented here.
And, certainly the most astonishing gem saved by a twist of fate is none other than soloist Keron Jackson himself. From homeless to one of the most astounding vocal talents of today, his story will move you as much as his jaw dropping voice.
