The Miró Quartet and Isidore String Quartet will celebrate the 200th birthday of Felix Mendelssohn’s Octet in E-flat major, a work composed when the genius was just 16.
The program opens with Haydn’s radiant Sunrise Quartet and continues with Microfictions, Vol. 1, a contemporary work written for the Miró Quartet by Pulitzer Prize-winner Caroline Shaw.
For nearly 30 years, Austin’s own Miró Quartet has captivated audiences worldwide with their passionate artistry. In this rare collaboration, they are joined by the rising-star Isidore Quartet, winners of the 2022 Banff International String Quartet Competition and 2023 Avery Fisher Career Grant recipients.
