Much more than an accomplished period-instrument ensemble, Quatuor Mosaïques ranks as one of the finest chamber groups performing before the public today. The extraordinary Austrian musicians have long enjoyed massive popularity with European audiences, winning praise for their cultivation of a unique and resonant sound through the use of original instruments. The ensemble was founded in 1985 by members of the esteemed Concentus Musicus, and its recordings have received wide critical acclaim and numerous honors, including the Diapason d'Or, Choc du Monde de la Musique, and Gramophone awards. "Simply close one's eyes and the musical vitality is instantly apparent" (The Independent, London).

Program: Mozart/String Quartet No. 19 in C Major, K. 465, (Dissonance); Schubert/String Quartet No. 12 in C Minor, D. 703, Quartettsatz, and String Quartet No. 14 in D Minor, D. 810, Der Tod und das Mädchen (Death and the Maiden)
