Music@Menlo Festival: Quintessential Quintets

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.
