7:00 PM - Concert Program IV: Quintessential Quintets
Stent Family Hall
Tickets: $87 full-price | $25 under age thirty

The early string quintets on this program represent the passions of their composers: W. A. Mozart, the avid violist wanting to join the ensemble, and Luigi Boccherini, the premier cello virtuoso of his day. The works by these quintet pioneers are juxtaposed with Romantic nineteenth-century essays in the genre, demonstrating the evolution of this versatile grouping. An all-star roster of violinists includes Indianapolis Competition-winner Richard Lin, Kristin Lee, and Julian Rhee.

 String Quintet no. 1 in B-flat major, K. 174 (1773)
