About This Performance

This concert is supported in part by Sevgi Rodan, in memory of Gideon A. Rodan

In this special two-part concert, the “passionate, uninhibited, and spellbinding” (London Independent) Brentano Quartet and master violist Hsin-Yun Huang illuminate the complete string quintets of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. In these six remarkable works, Mozart achieves a tour de force of classical perfection, from the first quintet—in which one senses a brilliant young composer just starting to test his wings—to the later works, in which he reaches his most breathtaking heights of inspiration.

Mozart: String Quintet in B-flat Major, K. 174
Mozart: String Quintet in D Major, K. 593

Part II (5 pm):
Mozart: String Quintet in C Minor, K. 406
Mozart: String Quintet in E-flat Major, K. 614
Mozart: String Quintet in G Minor, K. 516
