Friday evening, April 24, 2026—7:30 PM
Program:
Mozart: Quartet in D minor, Op. 10, No. 2, K. 421
Grażyna Bacewicz: Quartet No 3
Dvorak: String Quintet No. 3 in E-flat Major, Op. 97
The Aeolus Quartet returns to Reading with a special guest violinist. The first half of their program will feature quartets of Mozart and Grażyna Bacewicz, a Polish composer whose 3rd Quartet was awarded the Polish Ministry of Culture Award. The Quartet will be joined for Dvorak’s Viola Quintet by the venerable violinist and pedagogue Donald Weilerstein, performing for us on viola — an evening not-to-be-missed!
During this special performance, we will take a moment to honor several beloved friends of the series who we have lost in the last year: Dr. Stuart Cohn, Mary Alice Wotring, Robert dePasquale, and Yumi Ninomiya.
