ABOUT THE CONCERT
Join us for a musical journey with a taste of Austrian chocolate and wine during the EUNIC (EU National Institutes for Culture in Washington DC) series Music and Chocolate: Tastes & Sounds of Europe.
The Austrian Cultural Forum Washington DC proudly presents the Chaos String Quartet, which is part of NASOM 2023/24 (The New Austrian Sound of Music) and was also selected as a BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist 2023-2025. The ensemble’s musical program in Washington DC includes two Viennese classics: Mozart’s uplifting String Quartet No. 17 in B-flat Major, K. 458, nicknamed “The Hunt”, alongside Beethoven’s grandiose String Quartet No. 14 in C-sharp Minor, Op. 131. The musicians will also perform “Une étoile dansante”, a piece written and dedicated to them by Diego Conti.
The concert will be followed by a sweet taste of Austria and an Austrian wine reception.
Please find more information on the ACF DC website.
