About This Performance

The Roger & Margaret Berlin Emerging Instrumental Chamber Music Performance

Winners of the 2018 Wigmore Hall International String Quartet Competition, the Esmé Quartet has quickly gained a reputation as one of the most dynamic and multi-faceted string quartets of its generation. Its PCMS debut program opens with the lighthearted sophistication of Haydn’s Joke Quartet followed by Mendelssohn’s Beethoven-influenced Quartet in A Minor and Brahms’s masterful first foray into quartet writing.

Haydn: Quartet in E-flat Major, Op. 33, No. 2, Joke
Mendelssohn: Quartet in A Minor, Op. 13
Brahms: Quartet in C Minor, Op. 51, No. 1

Running time: 1 hour and 40 minutes (including intermission)
