The Brentano String Quartet returns to the Festival for the first time since 2014. The first half of their program spans the breadth of the string quartet genre: from Haydn’s Op. 20 that defined the form and solidified him as the ‘father of the string quartet’, to a late work from one of the most prolific quartet composers of the twentieth century, Shostakovich. In the second half, Phillip Ying joins their ranks to perform Mendelssohn’s mature String Quintet.
