Hailed by The New York Times as an "outstanding ensemble of young musicians," we are thrilled to feature Verona Quartet who headline this night of music featuring Felix Mendelssohn, Benedict Strahl, Dimitir Schostakovich, and Arthur Honegger. Audiences will enjoy projections of watercolor paintings made by Felix Mendelssohn in Switzerland, a land that so deeply inspired the composer.

Visuals for the evening include Felix Mendelssohn’s watercolors from Switzerland as well as artwork by Chrissy Angliker
