The esteemed Brentano String Quartet, whose performances The Independent (London) calls “passionate, uninhibited and spellbinding,” returns to our stage for an encore appearance with the superb violist Hsin-Yun Huang and a concert of revelatory chamber works.
Mozart’s six string quintets are not often performed, but they are among the finest examples of his chamber music writing. Mozart loved the rich sound of the viola — his own instrument of choice when he played chamber music with friends. The ensemble performs three of the works, finishing with a masterpiece of the genre, the G-Minor Quintet, which culminates in a finale infused with joy.
The broadcast will begin at 4:30pm Pacific / 7:30pm Eastern.
The concert stream will be available to ticket buyers for one full week from the time of broadcast. View it live, or at your convenience!
