The early string quintets on this program represent their composers’ passions: W. A. Mozart, the avid violist, and Luigi Boccherini, the premier cello virtuoso of his day. Pioneering quintets are juxtaposed with Romantic nineteenth-century works, demonstrating the evolution of this versatile grouping. An all-star roster of violinists includes Indianapolis Competition-winner Richard Lin and Julian Rhee.
