About This Performance
A big season needs a big ending. And what better ending for CMS' 40th Anniversary Celebration than a program that features compositions among the most enjoyable ever penned. String quintets from three leviathans -- Mozart and his profound and rich composition, Brahms with a vital and nostalgic work, and from Mendelssohn a youthful yet amiable piece -- augment the traditional quartet, and provide a fitting conclusion for a season bursting with resplendent string quartets.
Paul Neubauer, viola
