Chiaroscuro Quartet

Carnegie Hall

Discover chamber music masterworks by Mozart and Schubert with a striking new clarity and richness. With a dynamic performance style and use of historical bows and gut strings, the Chiaroscuro Quartet achieves a sound “so immediate, you could summon any musical line at any time for the closest of attention” (The Irish Times). In this program, the ensemble performs the last of the quintessential string quartets Mozart dedicated to Haydn (who, upon hearing it, immediately declared Mozart “the greatest composer I know, either personally or by reputation”). The quartet also performs Schubert’s monumental final string quartet, whose visceral, dynamic intensity and technical variety make it an especially enticing piece.
