About this event

Muffat’s “Passacaglia” from his Sonata in G Major for Strings follows, a dramatic Baroque piece by the Austrian composer who bridged French, Italian, and German influences. Mozart’s Quintet in C Minor blends Classical refinement with emotional depth, while Beethoven’s Duet in E-flat Major “With Two Eyeglasses Obbligato” adds a playful and witty touch. The program concludes with Mendelssohn’s Quintet No. 1 in A Major, a youthful work brimming with lyrical Romanticism and joy.
