CONSORTIUM AURORA BOREALIS CONCERT -  STRING QUINTETS:  MOZART & BEETHOVEN

Delight in an elegant evening of gorgeous string quintets by the Classical period’s greatest composers. Two violas in the inner voices add great richness to the ensemble. We present key representatives of the Classic and Romantic viola quintet genre. Mozart’s epic, dramatic String Quintet K. 516 in G minor is deeply moving and is regarded as an example of his finest chamber music. Beethoven’s sublime String Quintet Opus 29 in C major is nicknamed “The Storm”, after the agitated nature of the final movement with its suggestions of thunder and lightning. Top local musicians perform.

Join violinists Katie Stevens and William Sirois, violists Patrick Horn and Geena Salway, and cellist Peter Cosbey for a memorable concert of highest artistry on the Eve of Mother’s Day. Come out and make it a celebration!
