Two string quartets sharing the stage is always a party, but even more so when they’re celebrating the two hundredth birthday of Felix Mendelssohn’s Octet in E-flat major, a breathtaking work composed when the genius was just sixteen.This unforgettable program opens with Haydn’s radiant Sunrise Quartet and continues with Microfictions, Vol. 1, a vibrant contemporary work written for the Miró Quartet by Pulitzer Prize-winner Caroline Shaw.
For nearly 30 years, Austin’s own Miró Quartet has captivated audiences worldwide with their passionate artistry. In this rare collaboration, they are joined by the rising-star Isidore Quartet—winners of the 2022 Banff International String Quartet Competition and 2023 Avery Fisher Career Grant recipients.
Don’t miss this evening of musical brilliance spanning centuries of chamber music.
