Join us for the release of our newest recording, Franz Weiss String Quartets, op. 8 nos. 1 & 2! 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 world  premiere recording of Weiss’s magnificent Op. 8 quartets.

The evening will include a presentation by Dr. Mark Ferraguto and the Eybler Quartet and selections from Franz Weiss String Quartets, op. 8 nos. 1 & 2.

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. $50 suggested, and $25 or more will include the double CD.
