“Supremely lyrical, exactingly detailed playing combined with impeccable balance and unanimity, resulting in an overwhelming performance.”—New York Times

It’s always a pleasure to welcome a lauded, seasoned string quartet to Athens for the first time, and the performance by this German ensemble promises to become an instant favorite with its “superlative technique and invigorating intensity” (New York Times). The performance features pieces by two of Vienna’s superstar composers: Mozart’s Haydn-esque Quartet in E-Flat Major and Anton Webern’s bold “Five Movements.” A gem by early Romantic-era composer Felix Mendelssohn rounds out the program.
