Join us for a unique opportunity to get a glimpse inside the creative process of the Eybler Quartet, presented by the Mahindra Center for the Arts at Harvard University. This public event will feature a short presentation by the quartet followed by a discussion with Dr. Suzannah Clark, Morton B. Knafel Professor of Music at Harvard University and a Q&A session with the live audience.

Established with the generous gift of Rita E. Hauser, the Rita E. Hauser Forum for the Arts is broadly conceived to address “The State of the Arts” across the globe.

Mozart, Haydn and their Circle

The community of musicians is never a very large one, and the 18th century in Europe was no exception! Join us as we trace a musical conversation featuring the music of Johann Vanhal, a newly uncovered work by Joseph Bologne (Le chevalier de Saint-George), Joseph Haydn and Wolfgang Mozart.

Program details: Vanhal Op. 6 no. 4 in G major; Bologne Op. 14 no. 3 in F minor, Haydn Op. 20 no. 3 in G minor, Mozart K.421 in D minor

Mozart is today accepted as a pillar of the musical canon, but in his lifetime he was another working musician, another brick in the wall, so to speak. He enlivened the musical conversation as a performer and composer. He was both influenced by his colleagues and he and his work directly influenced others. This program explores the impact Mozart had on two younger musicians, Joseph Leopold Edler von Eybler in Vienna and Hyacinthe Jadin in Paris.

The Gallery Players is proud to offer a pay-what-you-choose ticket option at the door of our concerts as part of our commitment to creating an inclusive chamber music community. $40 suggested.

When the talented young violist Franz Weiss arrived in Vienna, it was as a member of the Schuppanzigh Quartet. He was thrust almost immediately into a collaborative relationship with Ludwig van Beethoven, also a recent arrival in the city. Their relationship lasted nearly thirty years as the Schuppanzigh Quartet premiered the vast majority of Beethoven’s string quartets. In 1806, Beethoven dedicated his Op. 59 quartets to Count Andrey Razumovsky, in whose sumptuous palace the quartet resided and worked. In 1813, Franz Weiss, also a gifted composer, dedicated his pair of quartets, Op. 8 to Razumovsky. Join us as we present Weiss' astonishingly fresh and inventive Op. 8 quartets, by turns hilarious, heartbreaking, profound, and, for their time, quite daring and experimental. Program to feature Franz Weiss String Quartets, Op. 8, no. 1 in G major and Op. 8 no. 2 in C minor.

Like his famous colleague Ludwig van Beethoven, the virtuoso violist Franz Weiss composed a remarkable set of string quartets for the Russian diplomat Count Andrey Razumovsky. While Beethoven’s “Razumovsky” Quartets are beloved by audiences, Weiss’s have been all but forgotten—until now. Working from a carefully reconstructed edition by Penn State’s Dr. Mark Ferraguto, the Toronto-based Eybler Quartet presents the modern premiere of Weiss’s magnificent Op. 8 quartets.
