This concert is supported by Robert E. Mortensen

Acclaimed for “wonderful, selfless music-making” (The Times, London), the magnificent Brentano Quartet returns to the Society for its annual appearance. Excerpts of Mendelssohn’s rarely-heard Four Pieces for Quartet highlight a program that also features Schumann’s and Brahms’s first published forays into quartet writing.

Mendelssohn: Quartet (Sel.), Op. 81
Schumann: Quartet in A Major, Op. 41, No. 3
Brahms: Quartet in A Minor, Op. 51, No. 2
