A rare opportunity for connoisseurs and newcomers alike to hear this premier Viennese quartet, which emerged from the pioneering early instrument group Concentus Musicus Wien. Quatuor Mosaïques is renowned for its performances of 18th-century repertoire on historic musical instruments— notable not just for their age, but also for their design and use in authentic performance practice: gut, not wire, strings; the shape of the bow and bridge. The quartet’s Gramophone Award–winning Haydn interpretation will whet the appetite for this intimate evening.
