- Toby Appel, viola
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart — String Quintet No. 4 in G minor, K. 516
Henry Purcell — Fantasia Upon One Note, Z. 745
Hailed as "a triumph of ensemble playing," (The New York Times) the Fry Street Quartet is a multi-faceted ensemble taking chamber music in new directions. The quartet will offer a Britten-Purcell-Britten first half and then welcome esteemed colleague Toby Appel to the stage for the monumental viola quintet of Mozart in G minor for their signature "blend of technical precision and scorching spontaneity" (The Strad). Since securing the Grand Prize at the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition, the quartet has toured world-wide, made acclaimed recordings, and brought new works to the stage through innovative commissions of major American composers.
Violist Toby Appel has appeared throughout the U.S. and abroad as a recitalist, concerto soloist, and chamber musician. He was a former member of the Lenox, Audubon, and Tashi Quartets and has appeared at the Angel Fire, Marlboro, Mostly Mozart, Chamber Music Northwest, Ravinia, Santa Fe, Seattle, and Great Mountains (Korea) festivals among others. Mr. Appel was formerly on the faculty of the State University of New York at Binghamton, Virginia Polytechnic Institute, University of New Mexico, and Carnegie Mellon University. He trained at the Curtis Institute of Music with Max Aronoff and Joseph DePasquale, and has been on the college faculty at Juilliard since 1990 and on the school's Pre-College faculty since 1999.
This ticketed event will be presented both in-person and as a livestream. The livestream will be made available to each ticket buyer upon purchase.
