If you’ve got your ear to the ground vis-à-vis the ongoing Austin Chamber Music Festival (whose many concerts run from June 7 to July 14) then you already know this here’s a show to celebrate. This being their 50th season means the American String Quartet has mastered their self-described “riveting” program of Beethoven and Shostakovich – but wait! There’s more: They’ll also be joined by legendary pianist Anton Nel for an, again self-described, “exuberant” piano quintet featuring ol’ Bobby Schumann’s music. Might as well check austinchambermusic.org to see the whole festival lineup since this level of “riveting” and “exuberant” music is sure to carry across all concerts. – James Scott
