Quatuor Mosaiques
Saturday, April 14, 2012, 8pm
Dinkelspiel Auditorium
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.

String Quartet in G minor, Hob. III:33, Op. 20, No. 3 (1772); Mozart:
