Friedrich II of Prussia, a cello virtuoso, spent hours a day practicing and also found time to support several composers. These quartets by Mozart and Wranitzky were two of several works that were written specifically with his talents in mind.
The program will include Wranitzky's String Quartet in e minor, Op. 23 no. 2 and Mozart's String Quartet in F Major, K. 590.
Performers include violinists Joanna Becker and Maria Lin, violist Yvonne Smith, and cellist Fran Koiner.
